Sneaky, Sneaky, SNEAKY...

[Raffles]

Have just been on to Amazon to re-order some Nautilus coils, plus a few other items to bring it up to £20+ for free shipping. Total came to £30, and in the checkout process, up came the Prime offer. Clicked on 'remind me later' but come the checkout I found that I had started my 'free trial'. Was going to cancel everything, but after a few minutes of contemplation and a refill of my glass, I decided to let it go as a test of if they could get 4 different suppliers to get me my order tomorrow.

Anyone had good or bad experiences with their Prime service... is it worth it?

Several occasions the next day delivery has been a few days later but not often, luckily I get a student discount so my prime membership comes half price, not sure whether I would pay full price for it though as it's £70 isn't it ? Good around Xmas time though as all of my Xmas shopping is done online to avoid the crowds !

You've just added insult to injury... because you're so flipping YOUNG! Thanks though.

I have it Raffles and find it pretty good, as you know nothing in life is perfect but as it stands all I can say is I renewed my membership and have been happy with the service.

Raffles - Do you get the Amazon TV with Amazon Prime?

If so, my folks have watched a few decent series through it - might be an additional perk

Thanks joeten ... I was just not happy with the fact that I had NOT positively agreed. Times have changed, but I guess I've not, just need to keep up.

Raffles - That almost smacks of those vape juice sellers who started doing sneaky "subscription services" hidden away in their small print

Yeah you get the tv with it. And we have used the prime delivery god knows how many tines now. Always been next day even if ordered late evening day before.

Ha ha I'm not as young as you think I'm a 35 yo mother of three but doing my nursing degree entitles me to some perks

rezello your still young believe me, 3 out of my 4 kids are older than you, by at least 12 years my youngest well lets say your a tad bit older.

You're still half my age, so I'm not happy! Seriously, many congrats on your very busy life!

I know I'm not going to have much left to do when I finish my course, the kids will be nearly starting school so I'm toying with getting an allotment to tend in my free time !

Prime comes into it own really if you buy lots of stuff and want it quickly. I think it's great but then I order lots of stuff and want it quickly

Generally speaking items you buy with prime you can get a little cheaper from non prime sellers.

There's other benefits like to and music but the quick delivery service does it for me especially as I live in the sticks.

I know I still can't quite believe that I can order something at 9 o'clock at night and still get it next day less than 24 hours later it's amazing !
