Quote:Amazon’s Prime has an awful lot of great benefits, but now one of the lesser-known ones is going away. Before, if your guaranteed shipment arrived late and you contacted Amazon, you could get a free month of Prime. But now that policy has quietly gone missing.

Amazon’s “Guaranteed Delivery” policy originally stated that if there was a guaranteed delivery date on the checkout page, that it would refund your shipping fees, and give you a free month of prime. You could request a free Prime extension up to 12 times a year, so if Amazon constantly had problems shipping to your address, you could essentially have a free year of Prime.

We’ve used this extensively here at HTG HQ because we’d pay for same day or next day delivery, and then when the package missed delivery and showed up a few days later, we realized Amazon had actually shipped them UPS Ground in the first place, so they would never have been here on time. For a while, this was happening regularly, and so you’d simply complain, and Amazon would give you a free month.
