Next, you've got a monthly £7.99 charge!
Â*I think this amounts to inertia selling which is illegal under both

Chances are you ordered something that was only available at the price
offered for Prime subscribers, and hence they automatically included a
subscription when you placed the order because that was the only way
you could complete the order. (other than dropping the item from the
basket, and searching for it again and choosing a higher priced
version not limited to Prime subscribers)

So using "dark pattern" web design, and some underhand tactics
certainly, but you can bet they won't have made obvious legal mistakes.

(they will refund you though)


Some things are actually dearer by Prime.


Either way, they can still setup a deal that is only available to prime
members...
