Does anybody here subscribe to this or have some background please?

I know about the free shipping, although I don't know of that includes
studs shipped from Amazon Marketplace?

It says it includes free videos, I'll have to see if my kit can use it but
looking at what is available there seem to be several BBC TV series that I
have already paid for in my licence fee and several films that you have to
pay for. I'd be interested to know what you actually get in the price.

They are a bit more honest about books saying it's a "selection".

It seems that music may be the same as unlimited music costs an extra
£9.99 a month.

Any info, or pointers to independent reviews, much appreciated!

I have it - I use it for music, deliveries and some videos. It works
fine for me at a reasonable cost.

I ended up with Prime by accident when I didn't spot a pre-ticked box
that I had to untick to avoid Prime. I cot a "Welcome to Prime" email
which alerted me. I didn't want Prime so I went online and cancelled
it. I did get free shipping for the rest of the trial month, even though
I cancelled Prime on day 2.

It really depends on whether you order enough stuff regularly from
Amazon to make it worth the subscription.

The music is OK if you listen regularly but the TV selection is a waste
of time.

I buy a lot from Amazon , so it’s worthwhile for me . I enjoy quite a lot
of the videos , as I don’t have sky, also get lots of tennis, I haven’t
checked other sports , will have a look . I like the music too . For me
it’s worth while Had a quick look on videos , and sports , a selection of
videos on for all . You could try a trial & then cancel ? Also free
Morrisons delivery in certain areas ..

Many thanks for the responses, looks as if it may be worth a punt as long
as I remember to cancel if it doesn't prove worthwhile.

Even so, Amazon prices are much higher than other sources such as Ebay,
so you are paying for the fast delivery once in the price, then a
second time if you subscribe to Prime. If you can just wait few days,
get it from Ebay.

Bit late, I've been away.
Free shipping if the item you are ordering says "Prime". This also applies to
Market Place sellers.
Most Prime deliveries are next day if you order within the time frame
indicated. I've ordered stuff as late as 6 PM and got it next day ferinstance.
It does depend on which Amazon warehouse it's stored in. I looked at one item
this week where the delivery was two days, but for my sons address in
Yorkshire it was next day.
I scored a couple of new Apple watches for significantly less than Apples
prices in the 2 day Prime Day just finished.

Regular prices do go up and down frequently so it pays to watch stuff you're
interested in. Apps are available to do that.
There is also the Warehouse where they sell returned refurbished goods at
discount. I've had stuff from there indistinguishable from new.

Despite what others may say there is an awsome amount of video content
available including films and TV series both UK and foreign.
We use it a lot as most current offerings from terrestrial TV are frankly not
worth the licence fee.
There is a big library of free music, but an extra subscription for the full
content. I'm happy with the freebie, not that I use it much. I have Spotify.
Ask Alexa to play music and it pulls it from the free stuff. Nice jazz
selection.

Is it/most of it included in the price?

Yes.
There are items which incure additional cost but they are clearly marked as
not included.
