If you are someone like me who shops on Amazon,com and avails of their free shipping, you will now need to buy at least $45 worth of items before you can have your item shipped for free. Let me make it clear though that this offer is available only in the US of A or when you ship your items to a U.S. address.
Add at least $25 of books in your cart and all other eligible items in the order also ship free, An eligible item has a "FREE Shipping" messaging on the product detail page, that is fulfilled and shipped by Amazon and contributes to your free shipping order minimum. The site says the method takes about 5 to 8 business days but per my experience, most of my orders take only five days maximum.
The online retail giant did not offer any explanation for the increase but many suspect that it's a way to lure more customers to their Prime service. Amazon Prime offers a free two-day shipping for it's members. Aside from this, the $99 annual membership also comes with free music and video streaming. Be warned however that again, the free streaming is only available for customers who are in the U.S.
