Those defending Amazon are the people who've been sucked in to paying £9 a month for some crap tv and very little else, I only use Amazon as a last resort when I can't get what I want elsewhere but I usually get free delivery by having the item delivered to the local post office.

When dealing with a company, I expect them to act honestly, not to be deceitful.

Or you know, get stuff delivered and get free next day delivery so incredibly easy and convenient.

Expecting honesty from a massive corporation, especially one of the biggest in the world, where the objective is to make money and nothing else, is just fking stupid.

It's not defending Amazon, they're s, it's lamenting people who can't be arsed to read a page and not pick the right option. You'd think in 2023 where most things and most humans are connected to the internet that we'd have some common sense on how to use it but alas, we don't.

But to play your game and flip it on it's head. people not defending Amazon are the types that moan, complain and get angry at base-level staff in the shop about a deal that doesn't apply to their product and they haven't bothered to read what the deal entails. They were the worst types when working in a shop whether you were a staff member or another customer.

Exactly, click there and you won't get it. Done.

Don't know if this is relevant, but I seem to have signed up to prime for free for six months, then £4.49 a month, as a student (I'm 48), which I'm not.

Amazon simply asked me when I expected to graduate, nothing else, so I said 2027, which would be true if I start a course next year, which I won't.

What is your Amazon email address? I want to notify Amazon if this scanadous, disgusting fraud.

Honestly don't know, it just popped up as an invite on the screen I'm sure. I haven't been buying particularly studenty things.

My conscience is clear. Good things happen to good people I guess.

I heard if you get caught you get added to a black book Jeff keeps on him personally.
Anyone in the book will be permanently banned from boarding any of his space rockets, or appearing in any MGM studio movies.

Off the back of this thread I've cancelled my Prime membership. I can live without fast deliveries and I'm not watching anything on Amazon TV at the moment.

Took me all of 10secs to cancel on the app.

Having had to sit through a seminar this morning on the new Consumer Duty legislation, the Amazon style 'Click here to unselect your negative decision not to not decide to not take Prime' interface is a dead man walking.

Consumer Duty are the new rules which just took a hammer to the knees of the St James Place price lists.

It also struck me that it is going to become the new PPI/fibro/distance-selling lawyer bonanza, with all sorts of wacky compensation claims on their way in.

Sadly, for basic prime, no; CD is only for financial services. But I think they do / have tried to wrap in a credit or credit card offer in the past, that would definitely be included.

For those who get Prime just for the fast delivery, does it really make much difference?

I don't have Prime and I always choose free delivery if it's available. It doesn't seem to matter - almost everything I order from Amazon arrives the next day anyway. I wonder if so many people do pay for it that every Amazon box just goes into the priority queue regardless, as it's easier than checking.
