Is Amazon Prime worth it if packages get stolen in my building?

Usually no — not by itself. If packages keep getting stolen in your building and you’re still relying on door or lobby delivery, Amazon Prime may not feel worth the cost because the main benefit (fast, convenient delivery) is undermined. Prime can still be worth it if you use safer delivery options like lockers, counters, pickup points, or deliveries to a place where packages are secure.

A few practical points:

• Amazon Prime pricing has recently been about $139/year or $14.99/month for the standard plan, but pricing can change.
• Amazon Hub Lockers and Counters can be a good workaround if they’re available near you, since packages are held in a secure location until pickup.
• Amazon Day Delivery can help if you’re often home on a predictable day.
• Key by Amazon can help only if your building is set up for it and management supports it.

What to expect on the refund side: if you report missing packages too often, Amazon may review your account more carefully and could limit future goodwill adjustments or replacements in some cases. Exact outcomes can vary by account and situation.

Bottom line: If you can switch to lockers, counters, or another secure delivery method, Prime can still be worth it. If not, you may be paying mainly for fast shipping that you can’t reliably receive.
