Amazon has raised the minimum FREE shipping threshold, for Amazon NON-Prime members, from $35 to $49. This is the first time I've had prime and we love it. I buy all my Paleo Friendly Flours, School supplies to restock the kiddos class rooms, gifts and more - plus we use Prime on our Amazon Echo, Amazon Fire Stick & Smart TVs....
If you are purchasing eligible books, the minimum drops to $25. If you are not an Amazon Prime member, you will need to purchase $49 worth of merchandise to receive free shipping.
Orders including $25 or more of eligible books qualify for FREE Shipping. All orders of $49 or more of eligible items across any product category also qualify for FREE Shipping. With free shipping, your order will be delivered 5-8 business days after all of your items are available to ship, including pre-order items.
Note that Amazon Prime members will continue to receive free 2-day shipping with no minimum purchase. If you’re not a Prime member, now might be a good time to consider if you make Amazon Purchased and want to take advantage of the benefits of the program. Keep in mind you can sign up for a free 30 trial to see if you like it!
Here are a few of the Benefits:
Free Two-Day Shipping
This is probably the BEST selling point of all…free two-day shipping with no minimum on most orders. Non members need to spend at least $35 to get free shipping and that’s standard which takes longer.
No-Rush Shipping Credit
If you’re not in a hurry, Amazon provides an incentive for letting them take their time getting your order out the door. Depending on what you buy, you could get a digital credit towards an eBook, MP3, or movie, or a credit towards a Prime Pantry order.
Guaranteed Delivery
If you DO need it F-A-S-T and Amazon runs late, you get can get an extra month of Prime for free! BUT,you have to ask for it!
Streaming Music, Movies, and Television Shows
An Amazon Prime membership gives you unlimited access to millions of songs and thousands of movies and television shows — including Amazon original programming.
Unlimited Cloud Photo Storage
I just started using this service and LOVE IT! Your Prime membership allows you to store all your photos in the cloud!
Free Kindle eBooks
Like a virtual public library, Prime gives you access to more than 500,000 eBooks. You can borrow one book per month and there’s never any late fees. Note: This feature only works for Kindle owners, not Kindle app users.
Early Access to Deals
With Prime, you get a 30-minute headstart over the others, and that could make all the difference between scoring a HOT deal or not.
Prime-Only Prices and Coupons
In addition to getting a headstart on lightning deals, a Prime membership also gives you access to deals to which you wouldn’t otherwise be privy. There are also clippable coupons becoming available only to Prime members. Plus, you will be able to take part in the 24-hour Prime members-only deal extravaganza known as Prime Day.
Prime Pantry
Especially when it comes to buying large quantities of household items, Prime Pantry is an big added bonus. For just $5.99, you can have 45 pounds of groceries delivered to your doorstep.
Amazon Family
For those with infants or young children, Prime’s Amazon Family perk can be a godsend. Diapers and other items are 20% off when ordered with Subscribe & Save (which can be cancelled at any time), saving you money and a trip to store for this necessity.
Plus, for just $3, you can sign up for Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, which gives you access to thousands of kid-friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games.
Amazon Household
One of the best things about Prime is that you can share nearly all the perks with another member of your household.
