If you have recently purchased a Prime Member for the sole purpose of your departmental purchases (not personal) and have barely started using the free two‐day shipping benefit, then Amazon will provide a prorated refund based on the estimated amount of shipping benefits already used with that Prime account. If you are near the expiration of your Prime membership, we recommend that you let the Prime membership expire and instead of renewing, set up an Amazon Business account. Anyone who is seeking a refund for Prime will need to contact Business Customer Support.
Follow the steps in response to Question 2 but also inform us at AmazonBusiness@uw.edu that you have an existing Prime account and provide the log in email address for that account.
