To help you learn more about Amazon Prime here are my screenshots below.
Here are previews of the Amazon Prime Trial, where you can see I am clicking around to try to purchase someone. However, from my testing, you can only buy items from Amazon Prime Now Singapore if you are a member of their program.

Here is an example Amazon Prime Singapore Membership purchase?
Here is an example of my personal experience signing up and purchasing an item from Amazon Prime Singapore (and if you're wondering, yes, I love Ben and Jerry's ice cream!).
The popup you see here is a reminder that there is a minimum purchase amount to qualify for free delivery.
Qualify for FREE 2-hour delivery with any order of S$40.00 or more. Orders below S$40.00 have a S$5.99 delivery fee.Then there is a selection of timing for delivery.
So I am presented with the following delivery timings:
7-8pm for S$9.99 SGD
8-10pm for free
10am-12pm for free tomorrow (Tuesday).
It is roughly 5:15pm at my time of ordering, so rounding that up puts me at the 6pm onwards timeframe. So they charge for 5:15pm-8pm delivery time.
I will only receive free delivery for 2 hours and 45 minutes after my confirmed finalised booking on the Amazon Prime Now Singapore app.
At the moment there is a DBS credit/ debit card promotion (promo code from DBS was "DBS20" - expires 30 June 2019), so I used this for my purchase on Amazon Prime Now Singapore and received S$20 off with a minimum S$60 spend. There is an ongoing S$10 off with a minimum S$60 spend offered by Amazon Prime Now Singapore as well if that promotion happens to have ended at your time of reading this.
That's pretty much it, just waiting for my Amazon Prime Singapore delivery now while watching my new access to Amazon Prime Singapore TV.
What is available on Amazon Prime Singapore TV?
Here is what I see when I logged into my Amazon account on my TV, using the Amazon Prime TV app. You will just need to log in with your same login credentials. Happy watching!

Shipping Benefits and Eligible Purchases
Prime shipping benefits (https://www.amazon.com.sg/help/node/201910360) depend upon inventory availability, order deadlines, and in some cases the shipping address. They are limited to certain products sold by Amazon (or third-party sellers participating in Prime) on our websites and mobile applications and to certain products on third-party websites that offer Prime shipping benefits. Products eligible for Prime will be designated as such on their product pages or our Help pages. Some special product, order, handling fees, and/or taxes may still apply to eligible purchases. If only some items in your order are eligible for Prime, you will pay applicable shipping charges for the ineligible items. Changing or combining orders, or changing your shipping address, speed, or preferences might affect Prime eligibility. Certain purchases may not be entitled to Prime shipping benefits because of their size, weight, and other shipping characteristics.
We may exclude products with special shipping characteristics at our discretion. The Prime section (https://www.amazon.com.sg/help/aboutAmazonPrime) of our Help pages provides information about eligible items, shipping cost, shipping speed, and shipping destinations.

YOUR CONTINUED MEMBERSHIP AFTER WE CHANGE THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGES. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ANY CHANGES, YOU MUST CANCEL YOUR MEMBERSHIP.
Termination by Us
We may terminate your Prime membership at our discretion without notice. If we do so, we will give you a prorated refund based on the number of full months remaining in your membership. However, we will not give any refund for termination related to conduct that we determine, in our discretion, violates these Terms or any applicable law, involves fraud or misuse of the Prime membership, or is harmful to our interests or another user. Our failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any of our rights.
Limitation of Liability
IN ADDITION TO OTHER LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS IN AMAZON'S CONDITIONS OF USE, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO PRIME.
