Is Amazon Prime worth it if packages keep getting stolen?

If your packages keep getting stolen, Prime is usually not worth it for doorstep delivery alone—the main benefit (fast shipping) gets undercut if you can’t reliably receive packages safely.

Prime can still be worth it if you use secure delivery options or the digital perks:

• Amazon Hub Lockers/Counters: good for items that are eligible, since you pick up the package from a secure location.
• Key by Amazon (garage delivery): only if you have compatible smart garage hardware and are comfortable using it.
• Amazon Day Delivery: can help if you want deliveries grouped on a day when you’re more likely to be home.
• Digital perks: if you already use Prime Video, music, photo storage, etc., that can offset the cost.

If stolen packages are the main reason you’re unhappy, the best move is often to cancel Prime unless you can switch to a more secure delivery method. In the U.S., non-members can often qualify for free shipping on eligible items around a $35 minimum, though exact rules can vary by item and region.

One caveat: Prime pricing, shipping thresholds, and locker availability can change, so it’s worth checking Amazon’s current terms for your area before deciding.
