Amazon UK used to be no limit but it's now £10 limit. However, this can be bypassed slightly by adding any media item (for example CD/book/DVD). A lot of people had fun finding the cheapest piece of media, I think someone found a warehouse full of 10p cassette tapes at one point being sold by a company and handled by Amazon, thus giving people 10p shipping for orders under £10. Regardless, if you have 4 friends you can split the cost of prime up to 5 ways (yourself + 4 friends) for next day. In my experience, at least, this has worked even delivering to different addresses. You have to list them as family members, 3 of my "family" are housemates and a fourth lives down the road.

The only downside with splitting the membership is that only the primary Prime account gets the free streaming and books for Kindle. Still a good deal though.

  I can't speak for streaming or free books, but I'm a secondary on a Prime account and I can rent books through the Kindle Owner's Library (in the UK).

  What we do is the primary account pays 40, the rest 10 each.

> for next day I took up the free month again this year, and have decided to keep it for the year. The finial decision point was when I realised that the free faster delivery often includes Saturday delivery, which I find more convenient than having larger and/or heavier things delivered to work.
