Pro-tip: Sometimes you can get lucrative deals on Prime during checkout if you don't have prime.
For example, I've gotten multiple 1 month free trials, and also the '1 week for 1.99' which you can immediately cancel after placing your order for a $1 refund (if you immediately cancel, not at end of the week).
I don't shop at Amazon often, but I've gotten many (read: > 10) Prime shipments over the last year, probably paying a grand total of $3 or so.
If I don't have any good Prime offers upon checkout, I'll go to Ebay, find the product, soft by lowest price, and it's usually the same price, or within a dollar or so, and ships a LOT faster than Amazon.com's standard shipping (usually ends up coming from Amazon anyways proxied by the Ebay seller with Prime).
I've gone through the Amazon cancellation pages many times. They always keep tweaking it and expanding the process.
I quit shopping at Amazon completely. Counterfeits are mixed in with legit. If I want cheap shit, I hit eBay or Ali. And if I want legit I go to the store or order from local box stores and pick up.
I think it works even without deals. Just subscribe to Prime, order stuff, cancel subscription. This way you pay only some cents (they charge proportionally to the subscription time) instead of 3€ for the shipment.
