Pay more attention when using the site. The big obvious buttons to
use to progress an order also tend to sign you up to Prime. Look for
the the much smaller, just text (no "button" graphic) that doesn't...


Actually very recently they tried a new version of it where they "gave"
you a free trial upgrade to Prime with no option to avoid it at all.
(at least not if you wanted to buy the stuff you had just selected)

It unwound again when the thing I ordered turned out not to be in stock
or ever likely to be so again so next day delivery just didn't happen. I
double checked that the free trial of prime had also been cancelled.

Most times they just make the most obvious button the "Prime" one.
Eventually I expect "normal delivery" to be a single pixel dot.
