Amazon Hikes Price Of Prime Membership In US To Offset Rising Costs

The price for annual membership is rising by 17% to $139, with the online giant blaming increased labour and shipping costs. The group stated that it had no announcements to make about other countries “at this time”.

NamNews Implications:

• As always, nothing is for nothing…
• And pipeline cost increases have to be reflected in prices, eventually…
• Unlikely that these increases will diminish Amazon Prime appeal…
• …given the convenience.
