I’d seen rumours online but got the email this morning.

EDIT: seems like there won’t be ads for everyone straight away.

  • Live events, such as sports, and content offered through Amazon Freevee will continue to include advertising. Customers in the Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands, and Isle of Man won’t see ads in their experience at this time.

    You still get free shipping on purchases above $35. I cancelled mine. Figure at the very least it’ll cut down on some impulse purchases!

      I’ve not seen that on Amazon UK (or the others in the EU). If it was available I’d have no need to pay for it

        Yep, my bad. As I said above, I wrongly assumed everyone was American again. One of these days I’ll get out of my bubble…

      Not true in Australia - it more depends on package size - larger packages and niche packages are more likely to have shipping that’s often more expensive than the price of the item, especially if it has to be shipped overseas. Prime give me more options to buy these items with free shipping without paying more than double.
