Prime In Amazon

[jennyjoan]

Was trying to buy something and put it into my basket. Next thing PRIME comes up and I don't want it.

These were the words


PRIME
Pay later

So of course I clicked onto pay later thinking I was on the normal payment scenario but wouldn't go away. So I just backed and backed and got out of it.

How can you by-pass this PRIME

[bednobs]

By getting prime. Then they stop asking you if uou want it.

The pay later is a credit option, just go through the normal checkout procedure

[gingejbee]

"Pay later"...isn't "buy now". You really do get yourself into these pickles!

Amazon, like so many dodgy sites, deliberately try to mislead you when going through the payment process, by highlighting the button where they want you to go, with the normal option which you require in ordinary text, often well out of the way. So it's definitely a case of Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware.

Here is their Help Screen to cancel :-

On the review your order page, offering free prime trial, deliberately click complete my order with prime and a box will pop up and near the bottom you can click no i don't want free premium delivery.

Incidentally, if your order is over £20 and you get the free 3-5 day delivery offered, then stuff often comes quicker than that (depending where you live obviously) and it is not worth paying for faster delivery unless absolutely necessary.

If you subscribe to prime it's free for a month and you get free delivery. Cancel it before the first month is up. That's what I did.
