Amazon Prime sucks massive donkey balls

[robj20]

Just got email, will keep it for now but the customer service is not as good as it once was.

Really.
Just last week after having my PS5 for 11 months the pad started with a dodgy joystick, they just instantly refunded me the cost of a new pad. Always been the same experience for me usually instant refund and keep the old one as well or they connect and replace.

Which you absolutely need given the amount to change kit!

Exactly

I ordered a belt and it came a day early, not in at the time, normally they just post it through the letter box which they have with the same belt months ago. When I got home no belt waiting for me, so checked amazon to find that I had cancelled the order. I had not cancelled the order so got in touch with them, they were adamant that I had cancelled and to give them a day to check ever thing. The following day I was told that the delivery driver had messed up and pressed the wrong option, I would be refunded and to order the belt again. The belt was now out of stock so I asked if they could try getting the belt redelivered as it was at the local deport, which I was told they would try and to give it two days. Two days later no belt so got back in touch, only to be told I cancelled the order so would have to wait for the belt to be returned before a refund.

Prime subscription costs are increasing from September 2022.

Monthy price going up by £1 to £8.99
Annual subscription increasing by £16 to £95 from the current £79.

Going to space is expensive and Jeff needs to rub those firsts in Elon's face.

Prime going out to £8.99pm or £95 a year now. Sucks but probably just about still worth it for me right now but only just.

Quite a jump that.Will keep it for now but it's getting close.

Cant you say Amazon?

I still say compared to Netflix it is good value.

 

[McPhee]

Time to buy an annual sub then I guess.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Still less than £8 a month.

Considering they haven’t put it up since 2014. I think that’s fair enough.

Price increase is from September or your next renewal according to the BBC.

Amazon Prime subscription price raised by £1 a month

The £1-a-month rise comes after years in which the streaming service paid millions for football rights.

Amazon. The word is Amazon.

Yeah, so for anyone currently on a monthly sub, switching to annual before the increase saves almost £28 over the following year.

Didn't want the competitor police on my case.

 

[Tom_ed1987]

Hmm. I only really use it for prime delivery & that hasn't even been that great recently. I think this just tips it over into 'not worth it' for me.

All relative. I think its the worse than netlifx and Disney.

I agree - no issues with the price increase - it's been 8 years and I've had plenty of value from it

Amazon photo back up from 4 phones is great, prime delivery is 99% spot on, TV is ok, son uses gaming prime stuff for subs/free games etc.....

I paid 5500 yen for postage 2 days ago from Japan for 1 item.

£95 a year for 100+ items is a bargain. And then there is the streaming thing on top.

Also, if you had subscribed to Prime early enough, I recall a long time ago you can add Friends and Family to it, up to 3 others and they all share all the benefits from free shipping to the Prime video, each with their own login, own bank card. I know they changed/tweaked it a while ago but if you had it from then, it stays.
