If you're going to buy something (especially something expensive) from Amazon, consider using GameTZ's Amazon affiliate link first.
From a web browser, click the amazon icon/link in the top/right of the navigation bar, then search for what you want to buy and buy it. GameTZ will get a nice commission.
Please note that using the Amazon app on a mobile device will not work. It has to be done with a web browser.
Every little bit helps. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Every Monday the list of what has been purchased and the commission GameTZ got is posted in this topic.

They're not my purchases, but the title alone, "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time," sounds unusually intriguing.

The commission amounts don't seem all around consistent. The video game section are all clearly 1%, and the video on demand section is .5%, but some of the others aren't as consistent. Even among their own categories, there are slight fluctuations in the percentages.
Was just curious how this worked, if anyone here knows.

I think there's also a volume-related percent increase that happens. In other words, the more commission you earn, the more percent you get. But, I'm not sure. That may have been some old thing that phased out.

This is correct. Different % for different categories. Pet stuff was actually a good % iirc.
I'm actually dropping my Prime when renewal comes up. I used to buy a fair bit of anime but they quit bothering to compete with Rightstuf on pre-order prices for the stuff I want and I just don't order enough anymore. :(

@Gypsy I know that Prime has several benefits, but the best one for me, by far, was the 2 day shipping, so if you don't order enough to warrant the cost than I definitely hear you. I'm sure I probably don't even use, or even know about, all the prime benefits.

Looking at my history it started trailing off in 2019. The two years before that I was ordering double what I ordered in 2019 and 2020 so it just doesn't make sense for me. Free shipping was the reason I had it, though some of the other benefits are nice I barely used them outside of making sure to give someone a Twitch prime sub every month.

Does someone benefit from receiving a Twitch Prime sub? I haven't used it, but if I have it anyway, and someone benefits, I might as well do it.

Yeah they get a small amount of money and it's free to do included with Prime.

Everyone working from home due to Covid lockdown suddenly realized two things:
1. Their printers suck and they need a real one.
2. They really DO use and need a second monitor.

Yeah, some printers can be troublesome. My old printer was terrible. It would print a line of ink right down the center of the page. No idea why.

A friend has Prime and has his stuff sent to my PO Box. Half the time his packages don't make it in two days. :|

PO Boxes have to go through USPS, that's why. They usually use UPS for the 2 day shipping stuff.

I meant my PMB - a private mail box. We get UPS/Fedex stuff there. The packages are ready a day after they are marked as delivered, but that doesn't help when the package is left in the building two days late.

@Foxhack Maybe it has something to do with how far away a particular Amazon fulfillment center is, idk.
@Kommie Would they let you pick up your stuff directly from the warehouse?
"Knock knock"
"Who's there?"
"I'm here for the items I just ordered"
