Gutted. I spend thousands with Amazon each year. Just cancelled my longstanding prime membership and won't be buying anything else there. Hugely inconvenient, but perhaps best all round. Local shops need all our support right now.

Oh no.
This is going to be hard for me to boycott. Have a basket of stuff I planned to buy next week. How annoying.

@Kit19 this is my thinking, Mermaids branding is sparkly and fun but I expect large corporations to have the knowledge to see through that and do there due diligence.

God, but cancelling Prime is like navigating the Crystal Maze. Got there eventually, and there was a handy link to let them know exactly why.

Shite. Amazon Prime cancellation overdue anyway.

I tend to use Amazon as a really good catalogue, then find the goods elsewhere.

Oh crap! Damn.....

Also how the fuck when there are so many brilliant charities to support do huge organisations keep throwing money & support at fucking mermaids?? A corporate partnership with the likes of amazon would usually take years to establish & a dedicated team of ppl

Mermaids is tiny with a suspiciously small board and yet.....

I'd broken my 5 year boycott of Amazon over lockdown so at least I've got something to focus on to secure my conviction not to buy there.

So nice of them to give money that should be given to HMRC on charity that actively harms children. Rather weird that Mermaids have now teamed up with two of the biggest tax evaders.

Bugger, that’s going to be inconvenient.

Bananabixfloof · 27/06/2020 11:34

Ah shit, I love Amazon. This will actually be a hard boycott, but I will do it.

WhatAWonderfulDay · 27/06/2020 11:33

Oh go on... (I thought I should display a bit more vocabulary than fuxake -which was my first thought too)

PenguindreamsofDraco · 27/06/2020 11:33

Oh FFS. I have single handedly kept amazon going the last few months. Still, local shops will benefit.
When will this bloody end?

onalongsabbatical · 27/06/2020 10:56

Fucks sake exactly my response too.
teawamutu we must be twins - was me posted Maya Angelou on the other thread.
But seriously, this is getting to be horrific.

Fuxake.
