The MNC has increased the prices of its Prime membership users, one of which services include prime delivery. It was earlier stated by Amazon that the company will increase its prices for quick delivery and prime services in the UK from September. The reason for the same was stated that the delivery charges have increased.
From September 15, the price for Amazon Prime in the UK will become £8.99. Earlier the price was £7.99. The yearly cost will increase from £79 to £95 which is a one-off fee. By this, it means that if you pay by the monthly direct debit, the total bill for the year will be £107.88.
The Prime services include exclusive benefits, and subscribers of the Amazon prime membership might be aware of it. The services include exclusive deals, same-day delivery, no minimum order required for free delivery, No Cost EMI, unlimited video streaming, ad-free access to songs and albums, early access to various offers and deals, unlimited one-day delivery, and any more such features.
The increase in the price of Amazon prime services is affecting the customers. However, Amazon has come up with a way to solve this. If you buy the Amazon prime services now, by paying for the yearly plan, you will get all the prime services at the current price for the next 12 months. This is a great plan for regular customers who use the Amazon Prime services regularly, as they will get all the services for the next 12 months at £79.
Amazon prime services started in 2014, and since then, it has seen a huge rise in its usage, and a lot of changes in the plans have been done since then. With the increase in prices now the deliveries will be faster, and the number of products available will be more too.
Prime services experienced an increasing demand during Covid-19 as there was an increased demand for quick services, and the local shops were not open.
Customers who are not satisfied with the increased prices can cancel their subscriptions. Those who haven’t used the Prime services will get a full refund. At the same time, those who have used the services partly will get a partial refund.
One of the spokeswomen of Amazon stated that due to the rising inflation and operating costs of the UK, the charges of Prime services have increased. The services have improved, and the customers will get the best experience of shopping and entertainment, she added.
