Nowadays, on the web it’s very easy to talk about the increase of Amazon Prime subscription. The price is increasing by 36%, because of the logistical crisis . Contrary to where it was before the covid Pandemic spread. The company justified itself, talking about inflation and causes beyond its control. By 2018, that was the first announcement of the price increase by Amazon. The new Amazon Prime prices come into effect starting from September 15, 2022, on occasion the first renewal.


The new price in Italy is 4.99 euros a month, or 49.90 a year. The same services are included, and the customer has the same rights. Amazon prime is a single subscription but offers a heterogeneous packet of service. Unlike normal amazon customers, subscribers at service prime have the fast delivery of a lot of products bought on Amazon. In addition, they have the possibility of participating at amazon prime day only year, with access anticipated at the offer. The company register decreased approximately 5%.

On the contrary, in Germany it will cost 89,90€, in the USA the annual cost is 139 dollars and in the UK instead at 95 pounds a year. Because of the cost of the life, many people are thinking of suspending the subscription.


Opinion of people around the world on the services offered by Amazon


The company searches for a quality better at the level of shopping or entertainment, a service that wants to improve only year. The people are divided in 2 parts: favorable and opposed. The first agree at the increase of service, because the colossal include many services:

● Vision of match

● film

● documentary with Prime Video

● Prime music

● Prime Reading

● Twitch Prime and

● Amazon Photos.


The opposites are not in favor because they think the increase of price is very exaggerated. As for the increase in products no one would have expected it at the cost of amazon. Therefore an increase of Amazon services was unexpected.
