Confusion over Amazon's New Subscribe and Save System

I used subscribe and save on some amazon items a while ago, still waiting for them to arrive, but I fear that soon I will be roped into paying for another delivery if I don't cancel the subscription soon. But if I cancel the subscription, my current/original orders might not get delivered at all. The whole system is really confusing now. How do I know when I can safely cancel, and still get my original order? At what point do I actually get charged?

    Check your orders page to see when the items are arriving. Generally you should be able to cancel renewals from there without affecting current delivery.

  • Also, is it normal to get orders marked as "delivered" even if they haven't been? The website lacks a button for me to push, to indicate a failed delivery like Ebay has.

      No, that's not normal. Something has gone wrong, speak to Amazon customer support, they're really good.

      • ahaha, turns out it was delivered. I was taking rubbish out to the bin, and saw part of a cardboard box through the gap in the side gate. so I went down the alley beside my house, and sure enough, the box of drinks was hidden there. The deliveryman did a good job of hiding it.

    I immediately cancel my S&S subscriptions after ordering and not had a problem with getting it delivered.

    I would generally cancel my S&S subscription after the item is marked "shipped".

  • If I subscribe and Save Napisan at $13, currently half price. Will each order continue to be at half price? Or if special ends is it full price?

      No, it'll likely go back to an expensive price, and you'll get ripped off.

        Thanks, that's what I expected.
