Amazon problem

I don't order often but when I do, I don't like surprises and I don't want a free 3 month membership to Prime that I have to cancel so they don't start dinging my card.

They've always had free shipping if the order was above $25 or $35. Now it's $35. No problem.

Last time I ordered, they forced the free 3 months of Prime thing on me. Looked all around and couldn't find a way to do it otherwise. So I cancelled about a week after the order arrived. No problem.

Two days ago I got an order together for 3 items. $46 and something, so free shipping.

When I went to check out, they tried to force me into a 3 month Prime membership at 50% off. It's $7.50 a month, so between that and my inability to check the free shipping box, now I was gonna have to pay $56 and something.

There was no way to get around it and have my order be $46. I looked and looked in all the crooks and crannies.

I cancelled and they emailed that my cancel order went through.

If that's the way it is now, they've changed and they've lost my business until they change back.

If they had an 800 number or a help email, I could find out.

I'm not stressing over it. I can buy everything I need locally. Some of it at a better price. I was just using them for convenience.

Can any of you shed some light on this?
