Changes coming to Amazon Prime

Funny about taking "business elsewhere", you can still get free delivery anyway, just not next day and there are no other companies that I know of with the selection that they have and offer the same "Prime" service, not at £49, not at £79 and not at £79 trillion pounds.

Obviously up to a price point you just say sod it and pay for next day delivery when you want and get everything free on the rest. Whether that is £49 or £79 is up to each individual.

Little known fact, if you buy something expensive like a TV and even if you select free delivery, it'll come via courier anyway.

Personally, I find amazon prime video to be great. Cancelled the Netflix subscription, because I don't watch that much TV and prime has loads of choice for us, plus weir chase several things a week from amazon.
 
As I said I don't get the emails, obviously the Mrs' fault for not reading them, I'll let you take it up with her if you like :D

Raymond the price increase has already kicked in. I won't be using them and that's that. There is nothing I buy on there I can't easily get elsewhere. £80 for delivery is a rip off, £50 was bad enough...

OCUK have it right with their free delivery ;)

The price increase does not kick in until next year, at least not for me.

As a valued Prime member you will be able to start streaming videos at no additional cost beginning February 26, 2014 and your Prime annual fee will not change until you renew on February 4, 2015. After that, your membership will continue for the new price of just £79 per year (passing on £41 in annual savings compared to adding a separate streaming membership).

I know, I used that service before signing up to prime, it's not next day though which isn't useful for me and is the reason I paid for prime. At £49 prime was worth it (for me), at £79 it is not, that's all that matters.

The point of the thread is to make people aware rather than for me to have a GD type moan.
 
I'm still on the £49 Prime but friends here have said that super saver used to be around 3 days and is now closer to 7. Might be a local postal issue though.

My wife uses Prime for the delivery. But also because it allows for 20% of nappies for the little uns.

The plus side to this is also that we get the movie service now. Not something we have used before admittedly, however, I was considering a Netflix account recently, but now there is no need, so the extra £30 for their video, per year, is better than the £72 for Netflix.

And we also average around one order per week on Amazon, so it is well worth it for us.
 
I think it still a pretty good deal tbh. Next day delivery on pretty much everything, free Ebook a month and Prime Video, would have been the nuts if they had rolled in an Audible sub as well.
 
I liked the lovefilm by post more than the streaming, as I was a member prior to the merger with Amazon. I've just cancelled the auto-renew, really not sure about the extra cost over the amount of time I use the services. But I feel lovefilm has lost the plot recently. They are not able to get the latest releases anymore - there always seems a prolonged delay before I can hire them.
