Is Amazon Prime Student worth it for international students in the UK?

Prime for Students and 18-24 year-olds is Amazon's Prime membership at a student rate. Amazon's page lists unlimited Premium Delivery on millions of items, a selection of special Prime member deals with early access to Lightning Deals, and Prime Video films and TV shows. New members start with a 6-month trial. After it, the membership renews automatically at the student rate, and you can choose monthly or yearly. Check today's price on Amazon before you decide.

Most UK halls rooms come with a bed frame and a desk, but not the small things. In week one you need bedding, a UK plug adapter, a desk lamp, a kettle and kitchen basics. Ordering them with fast delivery to your halls saves you carrying bags across a new city before you even know where the shops are. That is exactly when the 6-month trial earns its keep. Our pre-departure checklist and first-weeks guide list what to buy and when.

Sign up on Amazon's Prime Student page with your Amazon account once you have your UK address. Set a phone reminder a week before the trial ends, then decide whether to keep it at the student rate or cancel. Amazon says you can cancel at any time in Your Account, and Prime Student is not shared through Amazon Family. If you only shop online now and then, the trial alone is still worth it for move-in week.
