AMAZON is making a major change to deliveries leaving Prime members furious.<\/p>\n
From next month, the online retail giant will start charging Prime members for same-day delivery on some orders.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The service used to be free for all orders that were eligible for this type of delivery.<\/p>\n
In an email sent to Prime members, Amazon wrote: "As we invest to improve our same-day delivery service we are writing to let you know about an update to the same-day delivery options available for Prime members in eligible postcodes.<\/p>\n
"The majority of Prime members currently receive most of their Prime orders with one-day delivery, while free same-day delivery can be manually selected for eligible orders.<\/p>\n
"From September 18, 2023 eligible Prime orders under \u00a320 will continue to be shipped with free one-day delivery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
"Where available, same-day delivery can be selected at checkout, but there will be a fee of \u00a31.99 per delivery for orders under \u00a320.<\/p>\n
"The fee for customers who are not Prime members will remain \u00a35.99."<\/p>\n
Prime members that spend over \u00a320 will continue to get free same-day delivery if it's available on their order.<\/p>\n
But furious shoppers have reacted negatively to the news on social media.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n One Prime member said on Facebook: "There's not much point in being a Prime member soon."<\/p>\n Another said: "It's getting to the point where unless you use next-day delivery a lot or video it's not that beneficial."<\/p>\n "Looks like I'll be cancelling my subscription then," said a third shopper.<\/p>\n But a fourth said: "Honestly I still think it's an absolute bargain.<\/p>\n "I'm happy with the \u00a31.99 charge if I want something under \u00a320 on the same day."<\/p>\n Same-day delivery is available to those that live in eligible postcodes.<\/p>\n You'll know if you're eligible as the option will show up under the delivery method at checkout.<\/p>\n To get something delivered on the same-day, eligible customers need to place their order before midday to ensure they get it by 10pm.<\/p>\n Amazon Prime members will continue to get free next-day delivery on all eligible items in their basket.<\/p>\n But if you're unhappy about the changes and wish to save some money it could be worth cancelling your membership.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n If you pay for\u00a0Amazon Prime, you can cancel\u00a0the service by going to your Amazon Prime Account page when logged into Amazon.<\/p>\n Then click "Manage" where you'll have the option to update, cancel and more.<\/p>\n Choose "End membership" on the left-hand side of the page.<\/p>\n Amazon offers free Prime trials of 30 days or six months for students.<\/p>\n But if you've taken out one of these trials and don't want it to automatically start charging you, you need to remember to cancel the service before the trial expires.<\/p>\n To do this, go to "Manage Your Prime Membership" when you're logged into Amazon.<\/p>\n Then select "Manage" where you'll have the option to update, cancel and more.<\/p>\n Click "End trial and benefits" to cancel.<\/p>\n You'll cancel your registration and the payment card you signed up with won't be debited.<\/p>\n<\/picture>\n
