No, I know, appreciate that. I ordered a couple of things last week (18th) specifically because they said next day (and also at checkout). Still not here and now due tomorrow.eaststandmike said:
Not every item you buy is "next day delivery" just because you are a prime member, if you look in the box on the right hand side before buying it will give you details of delivery.TelMc32 said:They’ve been getting a bit shoddy lately, with a number of items turning up over a week later instead of next day with Prime. I can understand why, as a few of these seem to be sourced from the EU, but I think they need to be better about saying what is and isn’t possible as next day.
Granted most are covered by Prime/next day but some are not so need to be aware.

Yes and if you ask nicely they will deliver from Woolworths and Bejams.seth plum said:

It's pretty simple, Seth - £8.99 a month or £95 for a year gets you Prime Video, Music, Books and free next day delivery on an increasing number of goods and free 2 hour grocery delivery - plus offers only available to Prime customers. Customer service is exceptional as well.seth plum said:Amazon badger me to take up prime all the time.
Trouble is they don’t make it explicit what the full panoply of the commitment is, and use their website, language, and practices to obfuscate.
Amazon absolutely seems to love small print.
Not sure there's too much small print to worry about and you can cancel subscription at any time - not sure what the full panoply of commitment is!
£95 a year is outstanding value in my opinion.
You explain it better than they do.
I have a kindle, so on Prime all books are free after paying the subscription.
I have no idea what Prime video or Prime music might entail, but I reckon I could download over £95 of free books in a year provided the entire library of books they have is available.
Grocery delivery?Will they deliver from Lidl and Aldi?6 -
Prime video is a streaming service, similar to Netflix. Prime music is a streaming service similar to Spotify but the amount of music available without paying extra is limited. There are a few books available on Prime but the vast majority have to be paid for. Don't use the grocery delivery service myself but I think it is through Morrisons.seth plum said:

I believe Amazon music is included within prime and or just an extra £2 on top of it.
Join the future and get a f*cking Alexa. I still need to set mine up. I'm looking forward to asking it to play "The death song" when I get home from work on the odd occasion.
Ask Alexa when palace will get relegated and purchased out by a billionaire psychopath who completely ruins the club and turns selhurst into kebab shops0 -

TBF, AP saves me a lot of time and I’m not bothered that the price has gone up to £953 -
It's an interesting one. At what point if they put the price up to would people not renew?1

I think it will be like Uber, which felt cheap while it was shutting other businesses down and cornering the market, and then upped its prices when it became the go-to option.CAFC, We hate Palace said:It's an interesting one. At what point if they put the price up to would people not renew?

With the frequency we get deliveries it's still a massive bargain.2

All about use I think. If you pay £7 because it's decent value to watch the odd programme and get a few deliveries a year free then you're unlikely to go much higher. If you're watching 20 hours and getting 5/6 deliveries a week then even £12/13 per month is decent.CAFC, We hate Palace said:It's an interesting one.

You do. It also tells you how long you've got to order it for next day. But if for instance it was 9.50pm and it said you've got 10 mins to get free day next delivery then I wouldn't even think of complaining if it didn't quite make it next day.guinnessaddick said:
You need to check when you order it, as often it will say next day on the item page, then when you put it you basket it changes. So when you pay for the order, it will not be next day. It’s happened a couple of times to me. I cancelled the order and reorder it for next day delivery.cafcfan1990 said:
Yeah fair I suppose and time of purchase. If bought at 8pm then not entirely reasonable to expect it next day. 9am probably a different story. Personally id only complain if it happened more than once as these things happenMrOneLung said:
Depends if it was a time sensitive purchase surely.cafcfan1990 said:If you can be bothered to moan they’ll give you a voucher or partial refund. Seems a bit petty to me though1 -
it's another example of a price rise exceeding inflation .. if your grocery bill or the price of your Charlton season ticket increased overnight at a stroke by 20%, you'd be cheesed off about it.. as are the hundreds of thousands of Amazon prime members who are facing a 20% increase on their annual subscription imposed by a mega rich company, albeit one that generally gives a very good service .. any big price rise much greater than inflation is surely NEWSAirman Brown said:How is a price increase for Amazon Prime a story on the BBC main news?0 - Sponsored links:

He's useful but I certainly wouldn't want to go on a stag do with him. Would be fuming about missing out on all the decent pubs because the one round the corner is an average of 4p per drink cheaper.kentaddick said:Martin Lewis is an absolute hero.7 -

My Prime contract ends on 10th August. Have been paying monthly previously but just changed renewal to £79 for year at a saving over the increased price of £28.88. Not much in the big scheme of things but every little helps.1

It minimises trips to shopping centres etc and such added costs. Fuel, time, KFC lure, buying extra bits.
That £79 has probably saved you more than you may assume or believe.
A deal that's not great for the economy but it's handy for people and reduces some obstacles.
Sustainability and renewable energy is the way forward, and it's what Amazon are working towards. Best to just take the positives from it.0 -

Not bad really when you see the first menu at Woolwich 1974 (0.21p a cheeseburger and I sampled about 4 free via a coupon in Kentish Independent the first day)
