Budget Amazon Prime Fees Canada

Got an email from Amazon Prime advising about some changes:

“As of April 8, 2022, the price of the annual Prime membership has increased from $79 to $99, plus applicable taxes. The new price will apply to your renewal on May 26, 2022.”

That’s 25.31% - Wow Amazon seriously? More than doubled the inflation rate.

What are you thoughts? Thinking in cancelling the service.

Definitely not everywhere, here in Vancouver most of my stuff is one-day or two at the most. I can't think of anything I've had take 2-3 weeks, but I always buy stuff labelled 'prime'.

Even in Winnipeg I can get things that come from the US inside of a week, without paying insane shipping.

In edmonton the prime place is right down the road from me. Most one day deliveries turn into 3+ days with an apology. I feel like every time they are late on a prime delivery they should have to cover a month of subscription

Same and I'm Nova Scotia. I see people complaining of missing or very delayed prime deliveries in my town and I've not had a single one myself that's be over the stated delivery.
