MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
It's my own fault but still be warned.
I signed up for the free month of Amazon Prime in Dec to get a CD present delivered in time for a birthday. I totally forgot that they are charging £49 for 12 months of this service. If you don't cancel before the charge you get a hit. I totally forgot and saw my bank balance reduced to £12 yesterday (living on Jobseekers at the moment). Luckily you can cancel the service and get a full refund if you've had nothing delivered since the charge was taken. So the money will come back, but until it does I'm living on £12!
Wahey! That's £49 back in my bank.
Thanks for the heads up.
Mrs SB did the same thing (stating she didn't realise there was a charge for it 😉 ) - luckily she got the full refund or I wouldn't have been too happy
Stupid people in not reading T&Cs shocker! 😉 😀
I must admit I don't remember there being a "membership" charge. But then How many of us do read the small (or no so small print) on these offers.
You'd have to buy a LOT of stuff to justify pre-spending £49 on P&P. Maybe they should rethink. A tenner and a couple of quid for each next day delivery perhaps/
I did admit that Woody. Shame we aren't all perfect and that I felt the need to help out stupid people like me.

It's not really small print, and I wasn't being entirely serious 🙂

i did the same and got me cash back a few weeks ago
Thanks for the reminder - I turned on free Amazon Prime just before Christmas to guarantee getting a couple of last minute presents - just turned off my auto upgrade! 🙂
cheers for that another one who forgot!!
what's this? the transformers have a new leader and he's to be found in the rainforests for £49.00?
Yup mine was on the free offer from the summer and then I forgot disable it. Still it's like a bank for silly people a nice cash reward for being stupid and not checking bank statements.
i remember when amazon just despatched things quickly they had in stock at a good price post free. time was when their performance was very similar to crc - ie order by about 2pm and there was a good chance it would turn up next morning. guess they're well enough known and used now that they don't have to work so hard to compete.
So do I Del in fact every time I've ordered from them they've been spot on.
They've never been post-free in Spain, but I've always found their service to be excellent.
The only complaint I have about them is how easy they are to use, especially when drunk 🙂
Well they came up trumps again, ordered a book on Thursday evening and it arrived this am.
One touch buying is a pain in the behind - I didn't realise I had set it up & ended up buying something using the wrong card for payment.
