Ending your Amazon Subscribe and Save membership made easy

What is Amazon Subscribe and Save?

Amazon Subscribe and Save is a subscription service that delivers your regular household essentials and everyday products automatically to your doorstep at intervals you choose. Instead of manually reordering items like nappies, coffee, pet food, or cleaning supplies every few weeks, you set up a recurring delivery schedule and Amazon handles the rest.

The service operates throughout the United Kingdom and offers discounts on thousands of eligible products when you commit to regular deliveries. You select the frequency—from every month to every six months—and Amazon dispatches your items accordingly. Most importantly, you're not locked into rigid contracts, though understanding the proper cancellation procedure is essential to avoid unwanted deliveries and charges.

People typically sign up for Subscribe and Save to save money on products they purchase regularly anyway. The convenience factor is significant: you never run out of essential items, and you don't need to remember to reorder. However, many subscribers eventually find their needs change, they've accumulated too much stock, or they've found better deals elsewhere. That's when understanding the cancellation process becomes crucial.

How the service works in practice

When you add an item to Subscribe and Save, you choose your delivery frequency and Amazon creates a subscription for that specific product. You can have multiple subscriptions running simultaneously, each with different delivery schedules. The system sends reminder emails before each shipment, giving you a window to skip deliveries or make changes.

Keep in mind that Subscribe and Save isn't a single subscription you manage centrally—it's actually a collection of individual product subscriptions. This structure matters enormously when you're cancelling, because you might need to address multiple subscriptions separately if you're ending your use of the service entirely.

Plans, features and pricing

Unlike traditional subscription boxes with tiered membership levels, Amazon Subscribe and Save operates on a straightforward discount structure tied to the number of active subscriptions you maintain each month.

There's no membership fee specifically for Subscribe and Save—it's a free service available to all Amazon customers. However, Prime members receive free delivery on Subscribe and Save orders, whilst non-Prime customers must meet the standard free delivery threshold or pay delivery charges.
