Amazon has again raised to $35 the minimum non-Prime order amount for free shipping of Amazon fulfilled orders within the contiguous 48 states.

Not really earth-shattering news, but why shouldn't Jeff Bezos get a little richer, since he is sailing his yacht all over Italy, and might need some extra fuel money?

What is your source? I couldn't find this news anywhere. All searches came up with $25 minimum for free shipping for non-members.

Please elaborate. Thanks.

I don't even know what we pay for Prime Membership these days but it's worth it and we only use it for ordering from Amazon. There are so many more services that Amazon offers for Prime members which would make whatever it is we pay even more worth it.

@sugar plum   I placed an order with Amazon today, and the minimum for free shipping was $35.

@Desertdi  and @JanetsGirl 

I wonder why it wasn't in the news? I assume you both aren't Prime members?

In any case, I stand corrected. Thank you!

I agree membership works for me as well. I don't purchase from the Q anymore and use Amazon a lot for household, beauty items, groceries, video, etc., not to mention all the other benefits.

The monthly fee is $14.99 and well worth it for me. I get several deliveries a week and also order for my grandkids quite a bit. My orders arrive the next day if ordered by 7pm.  I also enjoy the other perks with free movies, music, books, Amazon Fresh grocery delivery.

When we order from Amazon we always have at least a $35 order and free shipping.  We had Prime but dropped it.  We still get our orders in a few days--very fast shipping even without Prime.  Have no need to pay extra for it.
