How to save £8 a month.
« on: 26 January 2021, 14:40:24 »
I have given Amazon Prime the boot.

Slow and sometimes no delivery. Not good enough,

That's £96 a year I'll save.......that is one whole Omega. :)

About right.

I pay £50 and some pence (can't remember exactly how many) each month. Twice over. :'(

For £7.99 I get next day delivery, which always arrives, and access to amazon prime video, which has some good films, series and football. Plus, I'm not a tight bastard.  :)

Having said that, if there was an alternative, I would consider using it. Amazon is taking over the world, and some people are making a stand. But not me, I find the choice and ease of delivery suits me fine.

+1 Agreed! :y :y

I find Amazon Prime first class, with one delivery of many I have placed coming within 14 hours of being ordered (on a Sunday!).  The films and especially music are good too! 8) 8) ;)

So did I and was quite happy with it. But not for a while now.

I contacted Amazon who say they don't guarantee next day delivery, even with prime.

We have a large distribution centre about 20 miles away, in Sheffield, so maybe that has something to do with it.

We live in the back of beyond and the postman rides a pig rather than drive a van. ;D

It's a shame because I was genuinely happy with the service.

Possibly.  :-\

I made my first ever purchase from amazon a few days ago. I had managed to avoid it up to now, but someone gave me a voucher for Christmas.

I nearly said, right then OK lets do it........then I saw the additional zero. :D ;)

Perhaps old Lizzie is willing to sell?
