It is forbidden to subscribe to the shipping service in exchange for a discount, as it involves (gambling/unlawful gain). The money paid for a potential discount represents a certain loss and a potential gain, which is a type of discount card forbidden by Islamic Fiqh Councils. There is no blame for what was shipped before you knew of the prohibition, but you must stop subscribing to this service.
