AIBU to have cancelled my Amazon Prime

[Nonsensesponsence]

That's it.

I love my Amazon Prime

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!).

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

Reducing consumption would save you more

Yeah do it! That'll bloody show them.

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.

Yes, I recommend www.TwoLegsBadFourLegsGood.com.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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).

Which are ?

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

This. It seems a bit attention seeking. If you want to cancel Amazon then you just do it, you don’t need to tell or ask anyone.

Do you know that mumsnet uses Amazon though OP? Maybe you shouldn’t use mumsnet.

Yes. It's a bit like people who post on social media that they're taking a break from social media for a while, so they won't be around.

Was thinking about this as well. I’ll probably save money because it’s too easy and convenient.

I cancelled mine last month - in an effort to stop buying stuff I don't really need just because it's free delivery.
I've watched a few bits on Prime, but only subscribe to one streaming service at a time, currently subscribing to the basic Netflix.
Only buy from Amazon when I have enough in my basket for free delivery - so maybe one delivery a month

Yanbu. I try to avoid spending any money with those tax-dodgers.

Please could you suggest some good alternatives. I want to stop using it but I am disabled and so can't get to shops easily

It's not about hating Americans. But Bezos is helping to fund and prop up the trump circus

See this, for instance https://www.npr.org/2025/02/28/nx-s1-5312819/washington-post-bezos-subscriptions-cancellations

Yes, while the Americans claim they have been the victim of globalisation and they need to claim back their benefits. Only idiots believe it and most of them are.

What Web browser do you use? Chrome? American owned. Bing? American owned. Have you made sure your pension savings are not invested in US companies? Have you stopped watching all US tv programmes and films? Will you refuse to fly on holiday if the plane is a Boeing? Stopped listening to American music? If not, you have only just started.

I think he's going to kill the 4-years-a-term in constitution next. If he doesn't do it, Musk will before he names himself the king of the galaxy.
