Review by Daniel on 25th August, 2010
5 stars "Great value shipping all year"

The prime ape subscription is a great buy. Now you dont have to worry about not buying something because it dosnt quite make that old $50 free shipping mark. With the prime ape subscription you can get whatever you want whenever you want. Great for both those one time deals you see pop up and for planned preorders alike. Awsome value. Youll never have to worry about the delivery costs again

Review by Ahmad on 3rd September, 2010
4 stars "A bit pricey but worth it in the end"

It's a shame really that there is no longer free shipping with larger value purchases, but in the end I thought I would give Prime Ape a shot.

I think it will pay for itself in the end because I'm now tempted by more impulse purchases of cheap stuff in sales and daily deals that I wouldn't have considered previously because I couldn't make up the order to the free shipping level.

Now if I see something that I like, and the price is right, I don't need to worry about shipping, and with some of the prices of the specials it really is proving to be a good buy!

5 stars "Are you Prime Ape yet?"

A year's worth of free shipping with free upgrades to Saturday delivery! What more can you ask for. Now you don't have to worry about extra delivery costs etc – you pay only for your items.

Prime Ape + MightyApeAthon = pure win.

5 stars "Perfect for the Mighty Ape addict"

This is ideal for all Mighty Ape Addicts.

I love purchasing DVDs, Books and CDs. No longer do I need to wait until I get free postage – OR – wait until all items arrive. Now, there is no guilt to buying lower priced items.

This subscription will pay for itself in no time.

Thank you Mighty Ape – from a Mighty Ape addict.

PS – the junior addict loves this as well.

5 stars "Great deal for regular buyers"

This deal the team has put together is great, if your a regular buyer from the site like me, you will see that this is the best option in the long run to save on extra postage costs (which leaves more to spend on other goodies)

Review by Maryanne on 25th August, 2010
5 stars "The prime ape subscription is great"

The prime ape subscription is great. When you had to make the purchase price add up to $50, for free shipping, I was looking around for something else to bring it up to the $50 or else not bothering to buy it. Now I can just buy what I want when I want.

5 stars "LAYBY IT!!! ITS EASIER!!!"

I asked to have this on layby and was accepted!

I paid 3 payments of $23 which was easier than paying $69 in one go and now I have a year's (12 months) of free deliveries including weekends!!!

Shop smarter apes and get lots while spending little at a time!

I have officially been Aped!

5 stars "Worth it!"

At first I didn't think I was going to purchase PrimeApe because I was against the fee increase however since buying PrimeApe I haven't had any regrets. I have made 9 orders since being a PrimeApe member and a good 5 of them being video games $100+ and a few books $30.

I will continue to make the most of Prime Ape :)

I think MightyApe should give you an invoice each 3 months to see how much you've saved on shipping.

5 stars "Excellant value for money"

It may seem a lot of money initially but if you order regularly then it's great value. It also means you can take advantage of the daily deals without worrying about postage costs bumping up the price (with no minimum order value for free postage).

5 stars "Prime Ape Rocks!!!!"

As I live at a rural address it is going to save me heaps by having a Prime Ape subscription. Previously I would wait until I had a $50 order (to save on postage) but now it doesnt matter!!!!! Unfortunately for my bank account it probably will mean that I order more stuff more often!!!!! LOL

5 stars "Great way to get what you want, when you want it."

Since I bought my PrimeApe subscription I've been able to order whatever, whenever. I no longer forget to complete my order, or waste an extra 20–30 mins trawling the site to see what else I might want, or wishlisting items till I have the $50 combined order for free postage. No more combining orders with family & friends to save on postage. Well worth the $50 for the year!

4 stars "Depends on how much you buy "

If you think you will spend more than 69.00 on shipping then you should deffinately buy it if you buy every now and then you shouldnt buy it.

Review by Barry on 23rd August, 2010
5 stars "Buying this means I can give into my poor impulse control!"

The Prime Ape Subscription means that when my daily and other emails pop into my gmail from Mighty Ape and there are only one or a couple of items I want but they would not total to the previous free courier level I can still buy them. Before, buying a $15 item and adding $5 courer charge put me off – now , I see a $12 book, sweet, bang bang pop and it arrives a day later and no 40% courier charge – I will easily make the cost of this subscription back in the first month and more importantly, I can now buy all those little items I crave with a clear conscience!

Review by Jenny on 9th January, 2012
1 stars "Good, but has flaws"

Aside from the one ‘lie’ in place, Prime Ape is a very good and useful service. BUT, Mighty Ape's description does lie. It says unlimited free shipping on ALL your orders. Well, if you order from the Marketplace, you must pay for your shipping (usually $5.50!). This is a lie and the only flaw in the system.

Aside from this, I have definitely saved money from becoming a Prime Ape, but not when purchasing from the Market Place!!

Review by Tony on 4th November, 2011
5 stars "Pure simplicity!"

I first thought, “How rude!” Cheeky lot to suggest that they can get away with this. But then I had a think about it and realised that it gave me the freedom to order what I want.

It doesn't save you on the big orders, but the little ones. You see a DVD for $10, you buy it without worrying about the postage. The Daily Deals are just a mouse click away for you to get a Mighty Ape package at your doorstep. You don't have to worry about the size of the order and calculating out the final cost is simple. Just the cost of the item and ignore any postage costs.

Only problem is that you might order more than normal. But at least you won't have to worry about the postage.

Review by Cameron on 12th September, 2011
5 stars "Better in the long run..."

I found after buying 14 separate orders in the last couple of months that shipping was at $54.60, almost the price of a “Prime Ape Subscription”… Getting this earlier would of meant that would of been all I would of had to pay, an still been able to order more [: If you see yourself ordering multiple things off Mightyape… I would highly recommend purchasing this.

5 stars "If you are a regular buyer then this is soooooo worth it!"

I think my subscription has already paid for itself more than once as I am a regular Mighty Ape purchaser. I highly recommend this option! Be Prime!

5 stars "Money Well Spent"

Because I am a big fan of mighty ape daily deals. I may purchase an item at least every 1–2 weeks. I can place orders as often as I like without having to worry about additional delivery costs :)

5 stars "It Pays its self"

Roughly it took me 3 months of free delivery (yea I buy a lot) to pay for the mighty ape subscription, if you use the site frequently it makes total sense.

5 stars "More bananas, less hassle!-)"

Even if you only make one or two orders a month it's still great value! I'm already taking advantage of the ‘free’ shipping and express delivery, but I hope people won't ABUSE this privilege. Mighty Ape (and those little courier monkeys) will NOT appreciate that…

 
 
Review by Aaron on 30th March, 2012
5 stars "Good buy!"

I am going to be purchasing this. I buy quite a lot of Mighty Ape stuff and this is the perfect thing and works out cheaper also. This also lasts all year round and is the perfect buy if you are looking to purchase Mighty Ape items. I highly recommend this.

 
 
Review by Josh on 19th March, 2012
4 stars "Saves money if you spend money"

Really good value if your a heavy user of Mighty Ape like we all should be, not so good for the people who only buy a few items a year.

 
 
Review by Richard on 12th March, 2012
5 stars "Best Deal on Mighty Ape"

If you find yourself buying a few items on here, then seriously consider getting this, yes its an up frount cost, but you can get everything freight free, even daily deals! it pays for itself so quickly.

 
 
Review by Theresa on 11th March, 2012
5 stars "frequently buying. Saving a little also"

this is great if your on here regularly becuase it could save you a bit of money. If your not on here as much you probably shouldn't, So frequent buyers should go after this because it could be a bit of a money saver especially if its for a year

 
 
Review by Moana on 22nd January, 2012
5 stars "Awesome.."

I have probably saved so much since getting this.. I have a habit of buying something then a few minutes later seeing something else i want to buy.. This way i don't have to worry about postage on top as it's all paid for the year..

Would recommend!!

 
 
Review by Paul on 17th January, 2012
5 stars "Perfect 4 Rural Delivery"

Purchased this on day one over a year ago, I have worked out that over a years postage from my purchases I have saved over $80. No rural delivery charge and items are sent straight away. No waiting for combined delivery. Very happy and well worth the price.

 
 
Review by Amy on 12th October, 2011

5 stars "Free delivery for any order is the best!"

I love how Mighty Ape gave the opportunity for this! It is excellent for those who sometimes just want to buy one or two items and dont need to pay for shipping as you would have already paid it for the subscirption! Its just so convenient and easy! The part i love the most is knowing that once you checkout any item you like, you see the total price is just for the item you want and not needing to pay shipping!:) LOVE mighty ape!

5 stars "Feels good to be a Prime!"

Great freedom now to order any products regardless of price! And the express delivery is also a great bonus too, this was definitely worth the $49 for the 12 month subscription. If you are a regular customer to Mighty Ape, becoming a prime will no doubt save you money.

5 stars "Freedom to get exactly what you want when you want it"

I was a little dissapointed when I first found out that Mighty Ape were doing away with the free shipping but the Prime Ape is actually really good for me and ties in great with there daily offers. Now I can buy just what I want when I want it without feeling that I need to make it upto $50+ with things I maybe don't need so much to get the free shipping. At the offer price of $50 I think it's actually going to work out really good value for me. Much more would be a bit steep so please Mr Ape, don't put the price up for us loyal primate fans ;-)
