Amazon free delivery increased to £25 (Non prime members)

Not sure when it happened, but Amazon have increased their free delivery on orders from £20 to £25 for non prime members.

I stopped using Amazon and moved to EBay delivery and Argos collection

I only spotted this, after your post, when going to order something. I didn't complete.

I didn't renew Prime because they increased it to £95/annum (20%!). Not much point for me because their viewing content is poor or pay extra. I am now purchasing elsewhere when possible.

Amazon used to offer prime trials for free or like 99p for a week which I would take advantage of, but haven't had one of them for ages. Do they still do them? 

I very rarely use them at all these days.

Yep, just had one finish a couple of days ago.

Yes they offered one to me, but not ready to activate yet - I only do it when I have time to binge a TV series I want to watch.

Yes, and they advise it's my last chance.

I do have a second account and there's the 30 day's Prime trial permanently offered there.Looks like there's a 3 months music trial now!

I have had an Amazon Prime account for years.  It has only gone up in price once in that time.  As I live in a rural part of the country I find it difficult to buy many non food items without spending a fortune on petrol.  The nearest department store is nearly 120 miles return.  

its easy to buy small items like vitamin pills much cheaper than Boots and they arrive the following day.   Being retired I am at home a lot, never had a problem in getting the parcels.

I watch lot of films and tv so I get my moneys worth and more.  I agree with  the comment about them charging for some of the films, when I took out my subscription I don’t think they charged extra for some films.  I have bought a few, some of my favourite films such as the Sound of Music (don’t judge, we are all different  ) 

It’s a very different lifestyle since I stopped working.

I get free delivery despite not being a Prime customer, it happens about 70% of the time i buy from an Amazon seller, rarely is my purchase over £25.
Is this unusual ?
