If I remember correctly there's no yes and no. You click your way through the order procedure clicking on "continue" at each step and then sometime during the procedure a page appears with "continue with the benefits of Amazon Prime" and a large "continue" button. Somewhere at the bottom of the page in a colour which almost blends in to the background is a link (not a button!) to continue without Amazon Prime. My wife was a member of Amazon Prime for three months before she asked me why she kept getting weird E-mails from Amazon and I realized what had happened.

For a while I ordered stuff using her account to get free delivery. In the meantime I find that most of the stuff I order is free delivery anyway, even if it's not eligible for Prime.
