Here in Canada, I got a tablet in November and it was delivered on a Sunday, maybe three days after I ordered. I can't remember whether they state how many days for "free shipping", but even 5-6 days doesn't seem all that bad. But then I can remember the days of sending away for something, and waiting the mandatory "6 to 8 weeks". If you track the package, it can be weird. I know one order no movement at all for a few days, then wham it was here. it almost looked like they had to get it from the US, but I'm not sure if they do things that way. But the tracking can also lag, I check in the morning, nothing's close, then it is delievered. Prime is amazon wanting to be an everyday place. So "i need soap", and place an order, since it costs nothing. I don't do Prime, so I do let the minimum accumulate, but then I'm doing it more like traditional mail order, an occasional thing, not supplying my everyday needs. Michael |

We hope you enjoy your free trial! > Does that mean that they have automatically signed me up? Yeah, you are in it now. They got me over the summer, it is NOT clearly written out when you select the shipping that the choice you select is an automatic sign up for the Prime membership. Anyway, it's no big deal, it is free (they aren't going to charge you anything until the 30 day trial is over) and I cancelled at around the 3 week mark without any problems. It did give me a chance to check out the video and audio services but nothing there for me and since I barely order more than 2 or 3 times a year, I didn't want to keep the membership. It's pretty scummy how they do that, at least they should give you a "are you sure" button or screen for joining it. -bruce bje@ripco.com |

| bje@ripco.com: Dec 19 01:08PM > So what do I do to cancel it? It's via the website. Log into your account over there and under "Account & Lists" there is one for "Memberships and Subscriptions". Since I don't have it anymore, I think the Amazon Prime was there. Assume there is going to be a few "are you sure" and a date to set for the cancellation. Then expect a few emails saying it's not too late to reactivate it. If they would only make it like that for signing up these questions wouldn't come up. -bruce bje@ripco.com |
