Avoiding Amazon Prime?

Options
Bit confused about where to ask this
I've just had to buy something on Amazon from Trespass the store site and my surprise was that Delivery was free, actually free.

But I'd given up on the site because I kept finding I was charged delivery when it said free/accidently signed up to prime and took a lot of unravelling.

By my basket it said they were giving me a free trial of Prime - then in my account they offered me prime...................
I can't find out if I've actually signed up to it by taking a free delivery.
I'm not likely to be on the site any time soon and don't want to find I'm paying for something I don't want a few months time.

The site I purchased from was

Any help about how I can find out if I've inadvertently signed up I'd be grateful for.

    Click on accounts and lists and then Prime membership, if you've signed up then you can cancel it there.

    Hi
    On your link, there's an option for Prime:Try before you buy. (I've never had this so can't really give spefific help for it)
    During your purchase, they've also offered you a free trail of Amazon Prime. They are two different things. You've confused them both I think :)

    If you have accidentally signed up for the trial of Amazon Prime or anything - check your account under 'your Prime Membership' or 'Your Subscriptions'. There will be an option to cancel.

    Ah subscriptions, that may do it. Thanks.

    OK so that's not obvious anywhere/ Tried to search for customer forums, subscription was not applicable to what you may have.
    This is why I stopped using this site and it's exasperating.

    They do also send you an email if you have signed up to Prime - deliberately or not.

    Thanks that's good to know.
    I'll have a look tomorrow - changes to Microsoft/Amazon kindle mean I have to crank up my old laptop.

    ~~I ordered a couple of things off Amazon just before Xmas and they offered 30 days free Prime so I took it and cancelled Prime on the 26th. If they offer me it again in the future I'll take it and cancel it after a week or two as I only order about 4 to 6 items per year from Amazon, there's no point paying £8.99 per month or £95 per year just to order  a maximum of 6 items plus they're putting ads on the video streaming unless you pay another £35.88 per year to go ad free.
    Someone please tell me what money is

    Isn't Amazon's new 'Try before you buy' a complete different service where you can trial products at home for a limited time period without having to pay. unless you decide to keep them, and if you don't want the items you can just send them back? (similar to the old thing of being able to get sent some mail order products "on approval")

    "on approval" - lol that shows your age, and mine.
    That was so much easier than today.
