For new Prime members, the price change will go into effect on February 18, 2022, and for current Prime members, the new price will apply after March 25, 2022, on the date of their next renewal.

I need to figure out how to cancel mine. They don’t make it easy for you to figure it out, and no 800 number to call. Simply not worth it.

Well, they DO usually have free two day shipping. But, not infrequently, they sometime might take five or six days to get around to shipping. Kinda defeats the purpose, I’d say.

Just let it expire, and remove your method of payment. Don’t renew it.

Yeah... I doubt they’ll lose many subscribers over $2.

There will always be those who put profit over principle... Profits regardless of consequences.

Btw, I bet they still sell lots of BLM attire. This one looks pretty snappy.

Transportation costs. He’s got to pay for his new $450 million dollar boat somehow!

“IMHO, worth the new price...”

Don’t say that. We conservatives are trying to put Amazon out of business by causing them to lose 0.0001% of their business, just like we did to Chick-a-Fill and Disney. The Left uses bots to inundate their operations and threaten their leaders (along with the families of the leaders).

I ordered a kitchen appliance the other day and it was delivered via ‘overnight delivery’. Left at my doorstep around 4 in the morning. I was impressed !

It's a $20 increase, not $2.
