When it says CHOOSE YOUR PRIME DELIVERY OPTION, if I choose any of the options give, does that mean that I have authorized myself to be automatically enrolled in PRIME? |

Amazon is much slower to ship non-Prime. I haven't found that to be the case. I often get deliveries in 1 or 2 days. However, I live in Seattle, so YMMV. |

READ THE WEB PAGE! It will tell you. AFAIK, if you get the free trial period, they will automatically enroll you at the end if you don't cancel. |

AND the state of California (along with Amazon, apparently) regards Prime membership as a sales-taxable item. 10% more than I expected. Still, instant gratification means a lot! -- Cheers, Bev "Rats cry when they hear about my life." -- Dilbert |

I ordered a calendar about 2 weeks ago, non-Prime, and I got free shipping and it was here in 3 days. |

You've just joined Amazon Prime...Thank you for joining Prime. We hope you enjoy your free trial! Does that mean that they have automatically signed me up? |

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 |

Well, if you weren't paying attention and clicked the Amazon Prime free trial option, I'd say yes even though your question was previously answered. What you take it to mean? |
