Amazon Prime explains: what is it? How much does it cost?

Online shopping, videos and music from the Internet and storage in the cloud – it’s just part of modern life. With Amazon Prime you save shipping costs, you are the first to get cheap lightning deals and you can get your fill of free films and TV series. In this article we will give you an introduction to Amazon Prime – from free shipping to the streaming offer to storage space for photos.

This is what Amazon Prime offers

With Amazon Prime Shipping costs for purchases on Amazon.de are largely eliminated. Amazon ships all products marked with the Prime logo free of charge to Prime customers. These are most of the items offered by Amazon itself, but also many from third-party sellers who sell their goods through Amazon.

Free shipping includes addresses in Germany and Austria and also applies to orders with a value of less than 39 euros. In addition, with Prime you will receive your orders faster than other customers in many cases.

For the even faster Morning Express, Amazon Prime customers only charge 5 euros instead of 9.99. In 20 German metropolitan regions, Prime offers additional shipping options, such as free delivery on the day of the order (same-day) and desired delivery date. Depending on the region, Amazon Fresh also offers groceries.

Films, series, Kindle e-books and more

But Prime also includes a lot of entertainment. In the context of Prime Video and Prime Music, Amazon delivers blockbuster films, current and older TV series as well as millions of songs via streaming to the PC, television or mobile phone. Prime customers access a large part of this offer for free, including several million songs.

You can also borrow Kindle e-books, with Amazon changing the titles offered every month. Gamers also enjoy Prime Gaming, which brings free gaming content.

Amazon Prime: Cost

Prime can be tried out free of charge for 30 days and then costs 8.99 euros per month or 89.90 euros if paid annually. Students can even try it out for free for a year and then only pay half price.

Depending on how often you shop online, you will save more than you invest in Prime simply by largely eliminating shipping costs. Then the streaming offer and cloud storage are a welcome bonus that you’ll be happy to take with you.

Full-payers can also share the shipping benefits with another person who lives in their household. To test Amazon Prime simply visit Prime website and register or log in with your Amazon access data.
