As an Amazon user for over a decade and Prime user of over 2 years, I've only once had an issue.
I ordered a game, meant to arrive next day so (for some reason) they sent me another copy which arrived the day after - along with the original copy. I then sent it back for a refund getting myself a free copy!
Which makes you a crook.I ordered a game, meant to arrive next day so (for some reason) they sent me another copy which arrived the day after - along with the original copy. I then sent it back for a refund getting myself a free copy!
I did wait for them to claim it back before I opened it though, if that makes a difference!
Amazon prime is an incredible service IMO, next day delivery without fail for me so far after I think 3 years of use. Now combined with a Doddle account and getting delivery next to my commuting station means I get everything without fuss.
For me it's one of life's little pleasures and means I get to avoid having to go into town shopping for anything other than clothes

My wife has a prime account in order to get the TV stuff, but thought the free next day delivery would be a bonus. I have a normal Amazon account and last year we both ordered a few things from the Black Friday deals. Some of mine turned up before hers, even though I used the free standard shipping. She bought a PS4 for my birthday/Christmas, which should have arrived the next day, but took 5 days. The problem with that was we knew it was with Yodel and thought we'd probably never see it. She's not bothered about the lack of next day deliveries in most cases, as she wanted the TV, but advertising something that doesn't seem to happen is a bit off.
You do know that if you're wife has Prime, that she can add you to her Prime account and that you can use it as well? opieoilman said:
Thanks for that, but will keep it separate I think as I buy a lot of presents (including hers) via Amazon
She adds your email address to the Prime account (up to 4 people at the same address I seem to recall).Your account and purchases remain completely separate to hers. You login to your account as usual - the benefit being you get the Prime delivery.

All they say is sorry and order it again and have a month free
From personal experience and reading the other replies on this thread, remind me never to get on a plane or train with you because you are one unlucky bloke!Hopefully you have used up all your bad experiences right at the start.

Yep, this is exactly how it works - Your account is still your account and can't be viewed by anyone else, but you get the benefit of Prime...Your account and purchases remain completely separate to hers. You login to your account as usual - the benefit being you get the Prime delivery.

Prime works superb when they use royal mail Tracked or Special delivery, when they use other couriers it is useless
I've only ever had trouble with Prime when the courier is Amazon Logistics, they currently have a 67% failure rate with me (and that's packages lost, not just not delivered on time).Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
