Probably not for delivery alone—if packages keep getting stolen, Prime’s main shipping benefit loses a lot of value. It may still be worth keeping only if you regularly use the non-delivery benefits, like Prime Video, Amazon Photos, or Prime-exclusive deals.

Best move: treat this as a delivery-security problem first. Use Amazon Locker/Counter, ship to work or a trusted address, require delivery to a safer spot when possible, add delivery instructions, or use a package box. If those fixes don’t work, cancel or pause Prime and order less time-sensitive items without paying for the membership.

A practical test: if you would not pay the Prime fee for streaming and other perks without reliable doorstep delivery, it’s probably not worth it.
