Deliveries would cost me a fortune if I didn't have prime. No yanbu

I don't have Prime and I get free deliveries to an Amazon locker.

Which are ?

I mean, I don't pay for it so I don't think it's unreasonable to not need it. Not sure I understand the significance of it being 'American', but if that's a factor for you then it is. It's your decision.

Amazon's founder, billionaire Jeff Bezos donated to Trump's inauguration. Trump is destroying the global economy (except for Russia, he's exempted them for some reason).

You're being incredibly unreasonable. Poor Little America is a downtrodden victim of the rapacious and oppressive trade policies of every nation on earth. President Trump said as much in that game show pilot Presidential address last night. And now you now want to cancel your Prime membership. Have you no compassion?

I have Prime for the free delivery. There’s shit all on the streaming service.

I hate Donald Trump.
Can't bring myself to hate America or Americans though.

It’s not about hating Americans.

But if you can find British or European alternatives, it will help combat the struggle those firms will face because of American tariffs.

Yeah the anti American feeling at the moment generally is quite unnerving. Not everyone voted for Trump and a lot that did were sold a lie. Kind of their Brexit moment

They will be suffering enough before his term has ended.

They have Trump. We had Boris.

Any good UK owned options?

Yes, I recommend www.TwoLegsBadFourLegsGood.com.

Reducing consumption would save you more

I think the US has done enough to screw itself over.

Lifestooshort71 · 03/04/2025 21:39

Never had prime so can't cancel. I only ever buy stuff that can be delivered for free to local lockers (and I certainly wouldn't cancel it because I thought it would hit back at Trump!).

MrsMitford3 · 03/04/2025 21:38

I love my Amazon Prime

This

"Account" "prime membership" click the drop down menu and go onto the cancel membership option.

ilovesooty · 03/04/2025 21:34

Please yourself. Why do you need validation from posters on here?

B1indEye · 03/04/2025 21:33

Are you under the impression that having Amazon Prime is compulsory? Why do you need to ask the internet, you know youre allowed to make your own decisions for whatever reason you choose?

It's American owned.

I can see the US quaking in their boots because you cancelled Amazon. And it is owned by shareholders - some of whom are US citizens or companies and others aren't. As a multinational, you do realise that if everyone follows your example over 75,000 UK citizens directly employed by Amazon will lose their jobs, and many more who are in the supply chain. They are one of the UK's top 10 private sector employers. They may not be perfect - but anywhere else you go will have at least the same flaws and maybe more, and it won't make a jot of difference to the USA.

You need to boycott all these too then

YABU. Amazon employs over 75,000 people in the UK making it a top private sector employer. Amazon hasn’t put tariffs on anyone so their UK staff don’t need to be punished.

Any good UK owned options?

Shop directly from the merchants and not a rentier platform.
