I can't remember what the minimum is for Amazon but it's not a lot. I want to say $25. I can always find something else to tack onto my order to bump it up if need be. But I just got Prime so I always get two day shipping now at no additional price. I had balked at this because I didn't want to pay the $70some to get it but SIL swears by it so I did it. I get a lot of books through them. And I get a lot of gift cards for them so I am rarely paying much OOP for anything I get there. |

They have other vendors who sell through them. Some have what they call an "add on" item. Ships free provided you order $25 of stuff in addition that qualify for the free shipping. Some of those other vendors charge a fortune for shipping. Not all grocery items are available from Amazon themselves. If you pay the yearly fee of just over $70 you can get what they call free two day shipping. I wouldn't personally call it free because you do have to pay that fee to get it. But... Since I order from them at least 3 times a month, I just went for it. I can do my shopping in the middle of the night and not have to drive all over looking for stuff. |

She hasn't proven anything because it's not true and neither is what *you* said. If you get Prime, it is just over $70 per year. I just signed up for that. This allows you two day shipping. Otherwise with a $25 order you get free shipping if you select it. I think the time frame on that is 5-8 days. It all depends on where the item ships from. Even though I am in the Seattle area, I sometimes get the things more slowly than when I lived in NY. Now when I ordered the wildlife cams, I needed them right away so I paid more to get them quicker. Also did the same with binoculars that Angela and her dad needed for some school thing. They told us three days prior that we needed them. Could not find them in any store! Not cheap ones anyway. But could find online. I don't mind paying extra shipping for something like that. |

I did say > I have had the value of it many times over. Would have cost me more than > the 50.00 in the first six months for shipping and handling, plus I hate > to shop in stores. Not sure that I bought much from them 10 years ago. Were they still only selling books back then? That was the time frame when I never read any books. Unless it was a kid's book and to Angela. Actually she would have been 5 then and could read most books herself. I think one of the first things they added was toys. I do remember getting something in NY. I think it was a doll bed or something. I somehow got a gift certificate for them. I do remember ordering a few toys from them and perhaps books for Angela. It was only after they expanded what they sold that I began ordering a lot from them. I don't really mind shopping in brick and mortar stores. But... I don't have all sorts of time to run to 5-6 different stores in a day and I won't go to the mall unless I have no choice. I do hate having to go from store to store looking for some specific thing. That sort of thing is easier to buy online, I think. There is a grocery store near Angela's dance studio. While she is there, I can run to that store if I need something. No problem. But there are a lot of things that we eat/buy that this particular store does not sell. There is also a Costco down the road from them but by several miles so if need be and she is going to be in the studio for a couple of hours, I can go there. But it is far enough away that it does take me a couple of hours to shop and get back there. Now she is going to driving school in another city. So when I am out there, there are a few stores I can choose from to shop at. There is also the mall but as I said, I won't go there. Other than that, any shopping I do must either be by where my mom or dad lives and I am visiting there or... It is a planned or emergency trip that takes me out of my way by anywhere from 2-7 miles. Occasionally more. Last night I realized that I needed more Now! cat food. I only know of one store that sells it here. And I wasn't planning to be in that area. So I went ahead and ordered it online. Might have paid more online. Not sure since I don't remember what I normally pay. And I got the 16 pound bag and that's bigger than I usually get. But now both cats are eating it. Bali didn't like dry food. And it save me a trip from going to the store. Plus free shipping. But then? As luck would have it... I didn't take Angela to school. Her dad did. So I had to totally rethink my shopping plan and wound up going to a store that was close to the pet store. Ah, it's always something. I do think that online shopping saves me time though. And driving. And wear and tear on my van. |

The only thing about Prime is you have to pay the fee every year, at least you did and it renewed automatically. I don't like anything that renews automatically. Cheri |

Whether anyone can do it now without paying the 50.00 is something that you would know since you started shopping at Amazon much later than me. Cheri |

Are you saying that even on orders under 25 dollars it's still free? If that's true, it's quite a bargain, but some places do ship free to Alaska due to high costs for customers. Cheri |

No, I wouldn't kid about something like this. It's been this way ever since I started ordering from them, so thought it was that way for everybody, no matter where they lived. Judy |

I have never placed an order for under $25, as my orders to Amazon are usually never less than $100, as are for the grandchildren's birthdays, or Christmas, etc., as they all have "Wish Lists" on there, so is a good way for me to shop. When I put the first item in my cart, a message comes up, that I qualify for "free shipping". Now that I think about it, last Dec. they sent me a E-mail about a special sale, that I could order the last season of "Downton Abby" and I know it was under $25 and no shipping. I couldn't pass that up, as finally started watching that show around that time, and got addicted to it shortly. Judy |

I once ordered a large pack of bobby pins because I could get 300 from them for less than I'd pay for a small pack at the drugstore. That was only about $2.00. I think I ordered some books to bump it up to the minimum. Or maybe some other hair things. I don't remember. They sell pretty much everything there so it's not hard to find another thing or two that we need or would need in the future. |

No, I wouldn't kid about something like this. It's been this way ever since I started ordering from them, so thought it was that way for everybody, no matter where they lived.

Lemme put up a link to their website. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom..._search_footer "With FREE Super Saver Shipping, you receive free shipping if your order includes at least $25 of qualifying merchandise, excluding gift-wrap and taxes. Eligible items will display "eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping" next to their price. If sold individually, they must qualify for the $25 minimum purchase independently of each Product Bundle in your purchase. Certain oversize items, e-documents, software downloads, music downloads and gift cards don't qualify." You see? $25 or more of qualifying items gives you free shipping. You are starting to sound like that woman on the commercial who says that she has to add stuff to her order that she doesn't need just to get free shipping. Now that might be the case with some places. But with Amazon, they sell sooo many things, it's not hard at all to add to the order. I might get a cat toy, some sort of food, a book, the list goes on and on. At other places like Drugstore, K Mart or Walmart I will usually look in the paper products to see what is on sale. I might get those or some supplements. Or I think of upcoming birthdays and often can find a present for someone. It isn't rocket science and it is very true! But you do have to tick the box for the Super Saver shipping to get it. This will not apply to me now because I have the Prime. Now I will always get the 2 day shipping. I won't say that it's free like they claim because I do have to pay a yearly fee. But... It's an option. You don't have to have that. Also, not all items qualify for the Super Saver shipping. For instance, I recently wanted a food item that I could not find in the stores here. They had quite a lot of it listed but none from them. All from other vendors that sell from them. I still opted to get it and chose the one that offered me the most food for the cheapest shipping. It was all good, except that I ate it all and now have none. |

Apparently you chose not to remember that I said you have to PAY for Prime.... which also means shipping is NOT FREE.

The fact remains that shipping is NOT free if you don't *subscribe* to Prime and order less than $25 worth of merchandise at a time. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

I can buy them too. But how many are in a package? Not 300! These were dirt cheap and we go through tons of bobby pins in this house. So I am much better off to get them that way.

Orders that are $25 or more can ship for free if you buy qualifying items. If you can't come up with enough stuff that you might need to amount to $25 then it must really suck to be you. |

And there's probably not a person on the face of this earth who would do that but you. I don't have to justify anything. I buy what I need and if I can't find it in a store, I get it online. I'm also not going to go from store to store to store to look for something when I can find it in sometimes as little as 5 minutes online. |
