The revelation came when he studied his partner was not a Prime member.
‘They receive discounts on products. I have to pay some,’ he continued.
‘I made up my mind Amazon Prime membership covered 2 day delivery. But it is not. I think that’s hypocritical.’

Amazon was hit with a class action lawsuit this year that is challenging the e-commerce giant failure to meet its ‘guaranteed’ deliveries for certain purchases.
However, a Seattle judge dismissed the case in June, saying the customer had not shown how Amazon’s delivery practices would violate Washington’s consumer protection law.
The lawsuit said Amazon met the purchase date but missed the four-hour window that shoppers chose for their packages to arrive.
“It is not unfair or fraudulent that Amazon fails to follow through on promises it has not made,” Evanson wrote.

But Amazon is still facing legal challenges with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which accused the company of fraud. enrolling millions of online shoppers in the e-commerce Prime service without their consent and creating it was difficult for him to leave.
The FTC accused Amazon last year of using ‘deceptive, coercive or deceptive forms known as “dark forms”. entice consumers to sign up for a new Prime subscription.’
Amazon has denied wrongdoing in the lawsuit, which also names three of its executives as defendants.
“The three defendants, whose lives have been upended by the FTC’s frivolous and unfair allegations, are determined to see the claims fail, and any delay will hurt them,” Amazon said.
Amazon said in a filing last month that it opposed the FTC’s request to delay the case until July 2025.
The case is among several federal and state cases criticizing Amazon’s business practices.
The FTC last year accused Amazon of anti-trust charges abusing its market power, in part by restricting sellers’ ability to offer better prices on other platforms.
