Amazon Prime has become many people’s go-to for getting almost anything delivered the next day.
Whether you’re looking for food, fashion or flowers, you can get just about anything delivered straight to your door within 24 hours.
However this prompt delivery comes at a price, and Amazon Prime’s customers currently pay a yearly fee of £79 to have things shipped so quickly.

This is thanks to the psychology Amazon employs when it comes to numbers, as they reckon numbers ending in a nine tend to be more appealing.
An Amazon UK spokesperson told ParcelHero that “The price change only applies to the US. We keep this under constant
