The problem with cancelling Prime is the unrelenting haranguing to re-sign up and the clearly punitive delivery charges. You get adverts from cancelling due to adverts and end up paying more.

I’ve just started to focus my purchases at specialist UK stores, rather than defaulting to Amazon for everything.
