Amazon Prime – Are Memberships Per Region or Shared?

amazon

I signed up for the free trial of Amazon Prime on amazon.it (Italy). For a price of 10€/year I would get free 2-3 days deliveries on eligible items, and I've successfully used it once.

Now there is an item I need that I can't find on amazon.it but I can find it on both .co.uk (UK) and .de (Germany). I signed in there, but they are still offering me a free trial of Prime.

Is the login the same for all Amazons, but Prime specific to a single region?

(I've also noticed .co.uk offers Prime at 80£/year, which is 10x the price it has on .it. did they misspell something somewhere?)

Best Answer

Too long for a comment. The UK price for Prime seems almost in line with the USA one ($99) and the difference with the Italian Prime seems to be in the services. The UK for example includes:

Free Two-Day Shipping, plus exclusive access to movies, music and Kindle books.
Unlimited music streaming
Watch unlimited movies and TV shows with Prime Instant Video
A Prime membership includes over 500,000 free ebooks

whereas (as far as I can tell - you would know better!) the Italian Prime seems to be only the speedy/cheaper delivery.

So I suggest (a) specific to a 'region' and (b) not a typo.
