Amazon $35 free shipping minimum (1 Viewer)

[John Dirk]

You mean you pay the full price for shipping because you might get it quicker?

I should have further clarified. I never pay for shipping when waiting until I have enough in my cart to meet the threshold will get me the items free.

What I find bothersome is that it appears that they took away the function to manually rearrange the items in wish lists.

Did Bezos sell it to Musk?

If that was the case, the company name would have been changed to Y.

Maybe this is a regional or individual thing controlled by algorithms. Mine still appears to be $25.00.

Same here in Boise. I just checked and it's $25 for free shipping.

Must be for people who were placing too many $26 orders.

What I've noticed is that fewer and fewer items have guaranteed 2-day delivery for Prime members.

Another reason I generally resist "pay by the month" offerings. Once you're a member they can slowly chip away at the perks used to lure you in while simultaneously raising the price. A bit off topic, but AAA never even showed up during a recent battery failure I experienced while riding my motorcycle. I ended up having to Uber to a shop and overpay for a replacement battery. I can file a claim for reimbursement but the process is intentionally arduous. Meanwhile, they always show up to debit my bank account when their monthly fee is due.

It appears Amazon is rolling this out in phases. Mine just magically updated while trying to place an order today. I'm not upset about this. I'll just stack items until the threshold is met unless I can find the item comparatively cheaper locally as was the case today. They make a move. I make a move.
