    In order to get free delivery from Amazon UK I had to order something else as well to make up a minimum order cost. As it turns out, I had to cancel the other item and naturally they then added postage to the cost of the CD set. Not only that they'd upped the price of it had I wanted to re-order. So I cancelled Amazon and ordered direct from Cherry Red - even with postage it turned out cheaper than the original Amazon CD only price - and arrived on the day of issue. Valuable lesson there for me. Amazon are a waste of time these days.

    I understand your frustration, mystery, although I'm glad that, as an Amazon Prime member, I don't have to worry about minimum purchase orders nor anything else. My only beef regarding Amazon is that my annual Prime Membership fee just increased to $150.00. What an unexpected shock!

    That's a hefty fee. I'm sick of Amazon pushing Prime in your face every item you want to buy anything - which is less and less these days. Certainly wouldn't be worth my while paying that kind of money.

    Well, that's the thing, Mystery. If you order CDs and other items regularly, the $150 Prime Membership renewal will pay for itself in practically no time at all. But if you don't order often, the $150 fee would be a redundant and unnecessary waste. Even for someone who does order often, however, Amazon's mountainous increase, along with everything else that's priced sky-high these days, hurts and is financially suffocating.
