I have been ordering from Amazon about 6 years, and never paid them any
certain amount in order to get free shipping, so all I know when I place an
order from them, I don't pay postage on most items. If any item has to come
from another destination, then there can be postage added, but I have the
option whether to cancel those item(s) or accept the small amount of
postage, and if I want it bad enough, I will accept, but the majority of
what I order, that comes direct from Amazon, is definitely FREE shopping,
and no gimmicks attached.

They might have different guidelines for Alaska then, because I don't know
how you're getting free shipping without having had to pay the one time fee
of 50.00 and buying over 25.00 in merchandise to qualify. Never heard of
that.
