Clicking through the usual route for free delivery on Amazon I suddenly
realise that I had been lured into signing up to Amazon Prime.

Don't know how it happened, but there seems no way to cancel it.
So I am on a free trial and I've already clicked the box to say that I
don't want to go from the free trial to the full service.

As I am inside, I can't check the outside door again (if you see what I
mean) so I don't know how much was Amazon trickery and how much was
simple
operator error.

Anyway, looks like I am up for some fast and free deliveries over the
Christmas period.
Which is good because I've already received a wireless keyboard without
the wireless USB receiver (udders...bulls..) and had to return it.

Good news is that I get free pick up for the return.
Looks as though the replacement (from another supplier) could arrive on
Sunday.

Anyone else seen an increase in pressure to join AP?

Yes. I got a "credit card" imploring me to do a Prime trial today. Seems
ever more difficult to avoid making that accidental click.

If I really care about time, I get things through work which already has
Prime.

Or use the "in the same house" and use my partner's Prime trial that she
"accidentally" clicked just like you. But that only has a couple of
weeks to go. Hmmm stinky rats.



Could be just my bad luck, but I started to get the feeling that they
intentionally delaying items£10 bought using their free delivery service.

Last three I bought were "ready for dispatch" for 6 days before finally
arriving 7-8 days after ordering. Both were sent from the depot that is
~30 miles away, and I am on the fringe of a very large city, so no doubt
daily (multiple) deliveries leaving my way.

I've been using them since 1997 (just checked...), but am finding myself
regularly now looking elsewhere based on price and speed of delivery.
Their after sale service is still very good though from my experience.
