All this stupid "add-on" shipping stuff is silly and was making my life a bigger hassle. I like Amazon because it was quick and efficient to buy, but that seemed to cause unnecessary friction.
And the real reason is that they made it very difficult to cancel Prime! 5 months into my membership, there was no way to cancel at the 1 year mark. They would only provide the option to cancel NOW, which is ridiclous. I actually had to put in a special request to customer service to do this. That was ridiculous and really changed my opinion of Amazon as a customer-focused company. It was like AOL tactics from the 90's.
- asheldon 11y ago"there was no way to cancel at the 1 year mark" From personal experience, if you cancel "now", it simply doesn't renew at the one year mark. You still get the prime benefits you already paid for until then.
- cfcef 11y agoDitto. I signed up for the free Prime offer, after a while decided it wasn't going to be worthwhile for me (a lot of the total delay between ordering and receiving seems to be on Amazon's warehouses' end of things, and not USPS/UPS physically moving it to my house), canceled, and kept using it for the rest of the month without problem.
