    Going to sign up now thanks OP. How would I know if I'm on Ireland or UK settings before getting onto customer service.


    Thanks

    You will be on Ireland by default. I just changed my region; it literally took seconds through chat. Said I was in Newtownabbey and seemed to be on Republic of Ireland settings. Chat agent came back straight away to say that he had changed some settings and I was sorted!

    Do you still have to meet a minimum threshold for free delivery on prime ie £25 but that you get it quicker, or can you order £15 of stuff and still get free delivery?

    The item has to be eligible for Prime shipping which not all are particularly marketplace items. Watch out for the Prime logo on it. Once it is Prime eligible there is no minimum amount for the free shipping.

    Thanks for the reminders on how to switch to the UK. I had done this a year ago but I guess it reverted back! The movie I used to test was Lego Batman. If you are in the UK you should be able to open this link and click "watch now".

    If you see not available in your location then contact support via chat. Took about 1 minute to do.

    Anyway to renew a Prime membership for £59?
    Mines up in August and this makes a renew a real bargain IMO.

    my subscription was due to renew for £79 on Tuesday. I contacted customer service and they advised the only way would be to cancel existing membership and set up a new one for the £59.
    cancellation was immediate and was quickly able to set up the new annual sub.

    Using your existing Amazon account or a new one? The £59 offer says it's only for new customers or those switching from monthly to annual. I'm in a similar position but with an August expiry.

    Strange, Lego Batman works for me but the 1st Season of Fleabag doesn't!

    For all those worried about how Brexit affects you if it all goes tits up at the end of October......I just contacted Amazon and heres what they had to say about cancelling your membership before the year is up.........."if you cancel the prime, refund will be done on the basis of its usage and months remaining so you will be able for partial refund at that time"

    For Prime TV UK users on here, how do you find it compared to Netflix? I had trial of Irish Prime TV and its fairly poor and found a lot of stuff required extra payments too. I'm subscribed to Netflix at the middle tier package and I'm thinking this will work out at half the price over the year. Don't get much use out of Netflix really

    If you don't use Netflix much, it's probably pointless getting Prime for TV too.

    I paid the £79 last October. Is this deal of any use to me?

    I use it a bit for the little one to watch Peppa and that but apart from the odd big series I'm interested I rarely find anything of use on it. Herself will be on maternity leave soon though so I'm wondering if Prime TV UK would keep her entertained. I also have a Nintendo Switch and Twitch Prime give free 12 months online sub for that as far as I know and I order from Amazon a bit. TV would be a bonus if TV had decent content

    It's my existing Amazon account. They cancelled my existing membership and I started a new one. My settings and watch lists were all retained.

    IMO it does have a decent selection of TV series, there's a few mentioned in this thread, skip to the last few pages

    Do you lose whatever time you had left on the existing sub?

    Yeah, but I had only 4 days remaining. Not sure if they will issue me a pro-rated refund on what was left! Nice 87 cent into my pocket for the weekend :D:D

    Everything that I have bought from Amazon.co.uk recently seems to have physically come from Amazon SARL (in other words: France)
    Is that their way of preparing for Brexit? Or just a co-incidence ?
