Do you also think that free cheese is only in a mousetrap? We dare to assure you that in modern conditions this stereotype is losing its relevance. The reason for this is the inexorable trend of the market: it is becoming increasingly difficult to win customers without giving away this very “free cheese”.
If you want to keep the target audience in a competitive environment, win it with profitable, on the verge of free, offers.
This simple truth was understood in time by the organizers of the American online store Amazon, an outstanding giant of modern retail. Against the background of other online shoppers, they stand out sharply with truly low prices, as well as a rich range of promotions and discounts.
Even the inhabitants of the Eurasian continent can take advantage of the benefits offered. Including the Russians. The Amazon Prime service is available to intermediary customers - fast delivery of goods. The service is very interesting. However, you should carefully understand its intricacies.
The Amazon Prime program is interesting here. It allows you to receive goods within 2 days. And for this delivery you will no longer have to spend additional money (the so-called "transport costs"). The service extends not only to all own "Amazon" goods. Some third-party sellers listed on Amazon also ship for free as part of this service.
Find out what products are delivered by Amazon Prime
Friends, everything is elementary! If you notice the Prime icon (blue logo) next to the product, it means that it is eligible for free 2-day shipping. Moreover, for an additional fee (only $3.99), the delivery time can be reduced to one day. Truly, such terms for online trading are simply fantastic!
Cheese and mousetrap
Now back to the mousetrap conversation. In this case, it has the appearance of an annual subscription. An annual Amazon Prime subscription costs only $99. Where's the free cheese? It should be understood as a test month of using the service. During this period, the user explores the benefits of the service without paying a cent.
In other words, from anywhere in the world, the buyer can safely use Prime delivery for free. And if you don’t like it, you can cancel the annual subscription without remaining in debt.
It's funny, but you can regale on such "free cheese" every year. 13 months have passed, they announced the desire for a test period, signed up for a subscription for free, and a month later they refused.
In fact, Amazon Prime loyal customers take the program seriously. It is difficult to find another retailer of this magnitude in the post-Soviet space. Therefore, for the notorious free cheese, in general, no one specifically hunts. On the contrary, it is advisable to arrange an annual subscription as expected and fully enjoy the conveniences of modern e-commerce.
Payment for a subscription for Russians
By and large, the Prime program is focused on Americans. They already use their native online store at least once a week. The lion's share of customers from our country, this service is unlikely to be useful. Because for rare purchases, it is simply unprofitable. If you make 2-3 or more purchases per month, the annual subscription to Prime will justify itself.
Who shouldn't buy an annual subscription
Do you only use the Amazon catalog a few times a year? Of course, you don't have to purchase the $99 annual subscription for free 2-day shipping and discounted 1-day shipping.
Anyone who wants to receive or is already receiving regular parcels from the Amazone online store will benefit from a free trial month.
Can I opt out of Amazon Prime?
Russians, taught by bitter experience, rightly fear that sophisticated Internet merchants are trying to catch the unlucky buyer on the hook. Say, they did not see any small print in the contract, and lost their money in the amount of 99 US dollars!
And here it is not. In the overseas trading space, things are done differently, and Amazon Prime is a worthy image of business correctness. Even if you have already taken advantage of free delivery by subscription, your money will be returned to your card. At the same time, they will keep only what is actually spent (somewhere around 6 bucks per month of service).
If, after the trial period, you have no desire to use the annual $ 99 subscription, you will receive all this amount safe and sound. What specific steps do you need to take to cancel Amazon Prime delivery services and, accordingly, return your hard-earned $ 99? The problem is solved in an elementary way. Follow the following path: Your Account/Settings/Manage Your Prime Membership. Find the End Membership button and click on it.
Interesting nuances of delivery
Most of the amenities of this program are not available to residents of the CIS. Nevertheless, the most important advantages should be clearly understood:
- free delivery works all year round (subject to subscription payment);
- One day expedited shipping is only $3.99.
Additional perks:
- you get free access to the mass of series and films of the vast media library;
- you can use the Kindle line of e-books by borrowing e-readers from Amazon as needed;
- upgrade your Amazon subscription to "student" or "mom" levels. Accordingly, get 5-20% discounts in some product categories. True, they are more related to household goods (like diapers, which you are unlikely to order from the USA via the Internet). But you never know, suddenly come in handy!
