TO NOT WANT FUCKING AMAZON PRIME?

100 replies

I did not even click for it! And it appears impossible to unsubscribe!

This happened a couple of years ago and I eventually found a phone number that worked, but, hey, it was a lot of work and why should I have to go to a load of trouble?

I do not want FUCKING FUCKING Amazon Prime, I do not want it in a boat, I do not want it on a train, I do not want it in the rain...
Angry

And yes yes it is my fault for using Amazon, maybe I should give up Amazon.

They've been bollocked for this several times by whatever ombudsman covers this stuff - it's happened to me twice. Have u found the number to call to cancel?

Moussemoose · 02/11/2017 20:48

Not in a hat, not with a cat, I'll break my computer with a bat!

Fuck off Amazon Prime. The bastard thing has got me a time or two. You can unsubscribe.

I love amazon prime and I found it very easy to unsubscribe :)

Bagel88 · 02/11/2017 20:50

Amazon prime rocks.
Telly, music and next day delivery.
The only thing that annoys me is it costs only €20 in Italy vs £69 here..

YABU in that cancelling Amazon Prime is very, very easy. Log on to your Amazon account, go to your Amazon Prime account and click on 'End Membership'.....

RavingRoo · 02/11/2017 20:52

Sounds like you subscribed to get free delivery on something and then got too lazy to cancel. It’s not their fault you haven’t contacted them to cancel. It’s a great product and really valuable for the time poor like me.

user1487194234 · 02/11/2017 20:53

Just a general warning I got a scam email about this today Almost fell for it ,was about to click to unsubscribe when I realised

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 02/11/2017 20:53

Confused

Why did you unsubscribe if you love it?

McPie · 02/11/2017 20:54

Your account, your prime membership and cancel it. it got me once and that's how I sorted it.

Graphista · 02/11/2017 20:54

Ravingroo nonsense! LOADS of people have been caught out. It's all over mn, mse etc has been for years and they've done features on watchdog about it too

I selected it by mistake last year, its easily done the way their screens are set up, but found it easy to unsubscribe so just had the free trial month. Cant actually remember how I did it, though I think I printed the instructions at the time.

Having said that, DS got a year free wih his student bank account, which seems to have an extra couple of months as it doesn't expire till Dec, and it has been v useful.

We email him a link of something, and if its on prime it appears at the door the next day. We will definitely miss it when his free subscription expires.

Tummelthecat · 02/11/2017 20:57

Do you like it in a house? Do you like it with a mouse?

LaurieMarlow · 02/11/2017 20:59

I've subscribed by mistake at least twice, maybe three times. They're manipulative bastards.

It's easy to unsubscribe though.

So difficult I had to type "Amazon phone number" into google and then it was only a massive box at the top of the screen Shock I don't understand how people sign up to this by accident or can't cancel it.

ThreeFish · 02/11/2017 21:20

Off topic, but thanks for this OP.
I must remember to cancel mine. DH and I both pay for it, and they offer a household option so we only need one.
Just cancel it us my advice for what it's worth. If you don't want next day delivery don't have it. Simple.

rachelandmike77 · 02/11/2017 21:22

It’s very easy to unsubscribe - you can just use their live chat and you’ll receive the cancellation confirmation within minutes

Oblomov17 · 02/11/2017 21:24

Subscribed last week. Went into my account and unsubscribed this week. Seemed easy enough.

Allthewaves · 02/11/2017 21:26

log on to account and unsubscribe - it's easy

LivingDeadGirlUK · 02/11/2017 21:27

I accidentally signed up and unsubscribed twice. It wasn't difficult but they do hide the unsubscribe option a bit (not as bad as the Graze website though, I was looking for how to cancel that subscription for hours!).

Then we had a baby and now we have Amazon Prime and use it all the time, although yesterday it was because my partner wanted to buy a kilogram of Malteasers...

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 02/11/2017 21:27

So many people say this - it did use to be a huge pain in the neck to unsubscribe but it’s really easy now.

Oysterbabe · 02/11/2017 22:24

Yabu. Amazon prime is amazing.

Dizzybintess · 02/11/2017 22:27

Not even to order green eggs and ham?

StatueInTheSky · 02/11/2017 22:29

if you both have amazon prime and use amazon music do be aware that if you "downgrade" to the household option it's only the main account holder who has access to the music side of things.

I didn't realise this and so dh has to sign in on his phone with my details which is fine, apart from the fact that the app then blabs about every last thing i order on amazon.

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 03/11/2017 07:27

I never managed to get Prime by accident to be honest but I do no now subscribe and love it! Cancelling is dead easy go to your account, then Prime and the cancel option is in there. I signed up for a trial of their audio book service in the summer, decided it wasn't for me and cancelled with no problems at all.
