Amazon goes from $25 to $35 on free shipping - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I just noticed this today. The free shipping minimum on Amazon is now $35 instead of $25. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Thanks for the heads up. it's a shame. The $25.00 minimum for free shipping was nice. I guess like everything else they are looking to make more money. Between increasuing the free shipping mininum and adding tax (in certain states) the final price starts to really add up. True, that there are still a lot of good deals at Amazon. I miss the days of no added tax.

I was surprised to see that too. I have to add in all kinds of extra things to total that amount now.

This kinda sucks. I usually add on with things like multi-packs of deodorant, toothpaste or other health and beauty aid. Now it's adding on more. I knew it was too good to last.

Its still a good deal, Several sites dont have free shipping until $100

I haven't bought too much from Amazon recently I had the Amazon Prime as a student and definitely bought a lot more when it was no minimum free shipping, I would get things 10 bucks at a time

Why not just get Prime? It's worth it
