          Amazon UK as a seller doesnt give free shipping after $49. Perfect example the recent Asic Kayano 28, this morning I ordered them for $99 sans $27 delivery fee

              @Jdog88: No, what what I am saying, before this deal (usually), you have to pay for shipping regardless it is $49 or not

              And now it is Free

      • BillyG687 on 07/02/2022 - 09:36

    It's great they've removed the $49 limit but this is likely in prep for raising Prime subscription prices like they're rolling out in the US now.

    • garage sale on 07/02/2022 - 07:31
      +6

      might also be a shift in what items get free shipping ….. i have some items on my list and they are over $50 but no free shipping for prime …… hopefully we don’t see more items exempt from free prime shipping that are over $49 combined …….

      i have noticed at times an item as free so i buy it, when i go to buy the item again later it’s no longer free shipping ……typically bulky items like paella pans, large frypans ….. amazon must be working out that some items loose money if shipped globally for free with prime ……

      • lambaus on 07/02/2022 - 07:34

        what are some good items to buy from amazon US AND UK?

        • Hybroid on 07/02/2022 - 07:41
          +3

          There are many games that aren't released in AU but only US or UK e.g. ones published by Nacon or Merge Games like Warhammer Chaosbane Slayer Edition.

          External hard drives are usually much cheaper imported from US or UK than local AU ones.

          Plenty of books that cannot be found here too. Occasionally some cosmetics too.

      • GLO on 07/02/2022 - 09:46

        True, I have seen items on the weekend that are on Amazon US or UK, which then says to order via Amazon AU, but the price is jacked.
        ie. AU$286 on the US site, but then clicking through to Amazon AU is mysteriously turns into AU$350

    • 2023 on 07/02/2022 - 08:13
      +8

      Considering our household saves at least 4x the subscription fee on postage alone, not adding that prime as one of our most used streaming services in the house, I'm not concerned for a $20 price rise.

      • Jacked on 07/02/2022 - 08:19

        Agreed. With free delivery, a great streaming service and some solid games now coming through, it's by far the best value and have no issue with the price increase.

        • Chinaforever on 07/02/2022 - 09:20

          Only if Amazon keeps free shipping for the items you want to buy from UK/US (and even AU lol).

          Like garage sale says above, "…hopefully we don't see more items exempt from free prime shipping that are over $49 combined."

          If more and more things are not included in the Prime free delivery service, the value of Prime just drops like a cannon ball dropped into the ocean ;)

          Only if you actually use all that.

          I just want the damn free shipping, I don't watch their streaming thing, and I want all my games on Steam only. Definitely a value downgrade for me.

      • Scarecrow2012 on 12/02/2022 - 11:50

        With record profits from last year there is NO REASON to increase the price of Prime. Why slug the subscribers more while making astronomical profits.

    • jasswolf on 07/02/2022 - 08:57
      +13

      Keep in mind the standard of shipping is way higher in the US, and that's something they've tried to maintain through the pandemic.

      Their wages are also atrocious.

        • Azro on 07/02/2022 - 09:48
          +12

          The federal minimum wage in the United States is $7.25 per hour.
          The last time it was revised was in… July 2009.
          Okay, about 90% of population make more than federal minimum because of states minimum. Still, the effective nationwide minimum wage (the wage that the average minimum wage worker earns) is $11.80 as of May 2019 which roughly equals A$16.5 per hour.
          Not very impressive.

          • CacheHunter on 07/02/2022 - 11:13
            +4

            @Azro: True, but the product shipped from the US was probably made somewhere else, where wages are even lower.

          • reu on 07/02/2022 - 21:38

            @Azro: I don't know how relevant the conversion is for folks on minimum wage as their disposable income would be so low as to have little capacity for directly purchasing from, or traveling to, Australia.

      • cobrakai on 07/02/2022 - 19:22
        +6

        Retail workers in Australia get paid double that of US. However, most professional jobs are comparable if not better paid in the US. Professionals get screwed in AUS and pay all the tax.

        • jasswolf on 07/02/2022 - 21:37
          +3

          Imagine getting taxed more when you typically ride on the backs of more people to do so…

          I'd imagine America would be in a much better set of circumstances if all the rich people weren't paying virtually zero tax.

            @jasswolf: Same for literally every country on the planet. Australia's not really affordable to live unless you've already got your slice.

        • ozbking on 07/02/2022 - 21:56

          But then it’s cancelled out by the huge student debt they have. Even with a law or medicine degree, it’s a quarter of the debt of the US.

        If they do increase it then yes at next renewal goes up too.

    • BigTime on 07/02/2022 - 13:41

      Is there a way to buy Prime for multiple years?

      My current yearly subscription goes till August but if they're likely gonna raise the price I'll buy for a few years at the current rate if it's possible but I can't see the option anywhere.

      • superroach on 07/02/2022 - 20:41

        No, and that's intentional

      • Droz on 02/03/2022 - 18:38

        I realise it's late, but you can buy a year's worth of membership for a discount… I did it in anticipation of a price rise, and saved some money to boot

    • hotdog85 on 07/02/2022 - 15:16

      Do you know why prime costs so much more in the US? Apparently they’re going up to 140 usd/yr while in Aus we are paying 60 aud/yr.

      Guessing they offer services over there?

      • AustriaBargain on 07/02/2022 - 15:26

        That’s $200 a year, or probably $20 a month if paying monthly.

      • FiXXXeR on 07/02/2022 - 17:10
        +1

        Still fairly new to Aus, and as such they are in competition with eBay and other online retailers.

        Once their market share reaches a critical mass the price rises come thick and fast.

      • jimbobaus on 07/02/2022 - 18:59
        +5

        US Prime has so much more on offer.
        Free same day or next day delivery
        Some cities they offer 2 hour delivery
        They own whole foods which includes groceries and the like also available to be delivered in 2 hours.
        They have a massive fleet of their own vehicles too which is another reason the costs are higher.

        Prime video also has 10x the content easily.

        • reu on 07/02/2022 - 21:43

          I don't think that the fleet of vehicles would be there if it wasn't for making profit. I.e. if the cost of running a large fleet was not offset by a commensurately large profit…I think Jeff would be smart enough not to offer the services behind the fleet.

    Inevitably, I reckon I'll buy < $49 stuff and get free shipping, but then I buy this and that, and by the end of the promo period I've spent > $49 and would've gotten free shipping anyway.

        From … 7th February to … 20th March.

        They do this free international shipping every so often. Each time people start saying it's permanent. But shipping fees come back.

        Definitely prime membership will be at least $10 within a few weeks.

      The current prime price is a steal. It's completely changed online shopping for us with how quick and reliable delivery is. They've even started delivering over the weekend lately. Sitting at 107 packages delivered in the last 12 months. Would happily pay twice the current sub price.

      • M00Cow on 07/02/2022 - 08:59

          i guess what he s trying to say is that even if the price has increased by double, he would still subscribe to it? No one s asking for price increase on the consumer side.

    I honestly don’t even mind if they put the sub price up. I’ve gotten such good value out of Prime over the years, and will probably do so even more now. I mean Jeffy B is evil but as we get busier and busier in life, having shit delivered to home so I don’t have to spend two hours of my weekend going to get it, is a big help.

    Makes sense for them to do this too, as not like it was hard to use the “hack” to get free Intl shipping anyway.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 07/02/2022 - 07:52

    Does anyone know if Amazon will give a prorated refund for the remaining period of your membership if you were to cancel early?

    Ive only got a few months left so I'm thinking I might cancel and sign up again so I get another full years membership before any potential increase in fees.

    • Xizor on 07/02/2022 - 07:54

      • Peelaw on 07/02/2022 - 09:22

        It wouldn't let me cancel "early". All it would let me do is cancel the yearly subscription but my prime membership would continue on until the end date.

        I got this message before the final cancellation step
        "Your benefits will continue until DD MON 2022, after which your card will not be charged."
