Amazon Prime

Amazon is offering its Prime delivery service on merchants' own websites at no additional fee, extending the programme beyond Amazon.com. The move lets participating retailers display fast Prime shipping benefits on their own storefronts while Amazon handles fulfilment. It reflects Amazon's push to embed its logistics network deeper into third-party e-commerce and tighten its hold on online retail.

Amazon has sent a warning to members of its Prime subscription service, according to a report by TheStreet. The details of the warning and which member policies or fees it concerns have not been made fully clear in the available reporting. The story is drawing attention as Prime members watch for changes to the benefits and pricing they pay for.

Amazon customers in the United States could receive refunds of up to $200 automatically as part of an expanded $2.5 billion settlement. The payouts stem from a legal settlement over Amazon's Prime subscription practices, and eligible shoppers do not need to file a claim to receive money. Coverage is urging people to check whether they qualify.
