I think I might cancel. I'm not watching ads and I'm not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don't know if I'd end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though....

they still do free shipping on orders over like 30 quid

Just order stuff somewhere else. I don't get why free shipping is so important to so many people. It's such a horrible company.

This is such a privileged comment.

Amazon is not the cheapest option most of the time. I compare prices a lot. What I meant to say was that it appears cheaper due to free shipping and people are lazy and rather pay for prime, pay more than they have to and support a horrible company all at once

Is it really hard to understand why people care so much about free shipping when so many people are hurting financially?

See my other reply. Amazon used to be cheap but now it's not the cheapest option most of the time, at least where I live. For some people who are struggling financially cancelling prime might be a good way to save money.
