Have you cancelled Amerzen prime? Was it a mistake?

I don't care about the 'free' videos .. but is the Prime delivery really worthwhile?

I avoid use of that outfit, prime or otherwise.
I do not regard this as an absolute prohibition, and would reluctantly order from them if no realistic alternative was available.
My last purchase, a couple of years ago was for "gold label barley wine" Most unlikely to be repeated as now available from a local supermarket.

I doubt that I have spent more than £250 with them, in total ever.

I was persuaded to sign up for prime so daughter could watch a TV series whilst on the free introductory month, and then cancelled it again. I got one item delivered on next day delivery (again, for daughter) but I rarely buy from South American f

I have noticed that my daughter has had a few DODGY TAX AVOIDERS deliveries recently. I'll have to badger her about it again. The last badgering worked for a year at least.

I only use them when there is an offer on and then cancel . I am currently using a free trial of prime that they have extended for a month (so 2 months in total), I only joined the trial because during the prime day/days this year a hard drive I wanted was much cheaper than else where (in my experience its rare for their prices to be the best anyway). Yesterday they offered me £5 if I used a different card , so that combined with an other offer and the free prime delivery got me a half decent set of side cutters delivered today for £3.79 which is about the cost of fuel alone if driving to get one.

I have never used any of their streaming services (if you where not concerned with the legality and could except a bit more work, then you could get any content they offer for free else where anyway.)

The end date of the trial is in the diary and will be canceled a few days before, there are a couple of other options to get a free £5 at the moment , so I will do some sums and see if its worth ordering anything else before I cancel.

Same with me. I rarely use it.

Perhaps the non-Prime should be called Amerzen sub-Prime?

I have Prime and I don't intend to cancel it. Where we are in the northern Highlands, we do buy quite a proportion of our stuff online. (80% of the services and goods we need are a two minute walk away, the rest is a 70 mile return trip!). The logistics up here can be hit and miss, but DODGY TAX AVOIDERS do seem to wipe the floor with everybody else in that respect. Their huge warehouse just north of the Firth of Forth helps, I guess.
