What is Amazon's free shipping minimum?

depglass — Tue, 30 May 2023 15:16:23 GMT

I thought it was 35.00? I'm a Prime member but I could use a little discipline if all I have to do is hit 35.00. $100.00 minimum, I'll stick with Prime.

I think it's $25 minimum for free shipping. Others can correct that if it isn't right.

Edited to say I was talking about free shipping minimum without Prime...

I don't believe there is a minimum $ amount if you are a Prime member.

@depglass @No minimum for Prime members with items eligible for Prime shipping. Some outside vendors sell things that are not eligible.

No minimum if you have Prime and it’s a free shipping eligible item. It will say on the item and in your cart.

I misunderstood. Without Prime I think it’s $25. Definitely not $100.

$25...for your TOTAL order on items shipped by Amazon...you may have to wait a few "extra" days for delivery, but it's worth it to me to keep a "shopping list" on their site, and order when I have the minimum.

In addition, you have 24 hours after you place your order, to add other items (free shipping) that you may have "forgotten".

ONE MORE THING:

When you REVIEW YOUR ORDER, be sure and "click" the FREE SHIPPING option, because there are other choices.

I have Prime mainly for the video content. Since we've seen most of what we are interested in, and the Prime seems to go up every year, I may cancel it. So I don't consider this a membership fee.

I hope I didn't cause the minimum order confusion when I posted on another Amazon thread that since my order was over $100 it's shipping free. It would have been free as well had I only hit the minimum, however, my order came to over $100 so I chose free shipping. If that was a point of confusion, I apologize.

No problem, I totally understand. It did bring up an opportunity for me to review my "subscription" charges, this one and a couple streaming ones.

Yesterday I placed a Prime Order for under $7. Free shipping, AND! It's being delivered today. Can't beat that, eh?

@depglass I'm a prime member and I just ordered a shrimp shears for $8.95 with no shipping fee. You just have to check the fine print. If it's Prime, just look to see if there are any restrictions. Should be free. Otherwise, it will say free with minimum order of ____.

Remember that lots of items that ship directly from the vendor and not from amazon come with free shipping, no minumum spend, and no Prime is needed.

Re: What is Amazon's free shipping minimum?

hckynutjohn — Tue, 30 May 2023 22:22:15 GMT

Mentioned I ordered yesterday in my other post, and! Amazon delivered about 20 minutes ago. Beat that if you can online retailers! And! No charges other than taxes added to price of under $7.

We watch a lot of shows on Prime, so it's not just the free shipping for us. There's a lot more to the membership than many people take advantage of, IMO.

@Shelbelle You might have to pay for return shipping. Also some vendors have more restrictions regarding returns and how long you have to return the item.

Just in our family we hardly ever buy unless the item is Sold By Amazon and Shipped by Amazon. We have only ordered from a handful of vendors we are familiar with but even then always Shipped by Amazon.

It is a good idea to check out unknown vendors just in case.

I have Amazon prime and I always get free shipping. plus quick delivery

@depglass It's important to remember what someone else mentioned: the items have to be coming from Amazon if you want the free shipping with the $25 minimum. Not sent by a 3rd party.

As for all the responses about Prime, she knows Prime and wasn't asking about it.🙄
