Basically, if you got free shipping becaue your order was over $25 (the
current minimum) you can get free shipping with no minimum for 24 hours.

That could be very good if you forgot something.

Maybe they can merge the second order with the first so the shipping
cost to them is no higher.

And more important to them, they get you to buy now and not sit around
thinking, What else do I need. Lots of places give incentives for
people to buy now, like easy returns.

IME, a policy like this might not be permanent.





OTOH, the shopping Cart currently says
"Add $0.29 of eligible items to your order to qualify for FREE Shipping.
Or check out now to see if your order qualifies for FREE pickup at an
Amazon pickup location near you. See details"

So I started on what turned out to be a wild-goose chase: I went to the
details and it said not a word about free pickup at Amazon locations**.
And not a word about someone who has $24 and change in his cart. Maybe I
can add a pack of gum.

Not to give up, I googled and found https://www.amazon.com/ulp but
Amazon Hub Locker+ said not a word about under $25.

so I looked for without the plus and I found
https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=6442600011 which is what I was
looking for in the first place (I didn't know about plus.) And it says
"There is no additional cost to use an Amazon Hub Locker. FREE Two-Day
Shipping is available with Amazon Prime. Standard shipping rates apply
for all other orders. " so it too says nothing about under $25. I'm
glad I have that settled.


**I used a supermarket once when I was buying a phone. I've never had
anything stolen but $300 is too much just sit on my stoop.

I don't usually buy from Amazon and about the only reason I go on their
website is to download Kindle books I've borrowed from my public library.

I did notice the other day though that the cost of Prime has zoomed to
$13 a month- plus tax! That's a lot of money for free shipping on a tube
of toothpaste.

Seems like Amazon is at our house at least three times a week. My husband
and I hate shopping in person. We even buy our clothes online, some of
them from Amazon.

And then there's the streaming video.

Prime give access to TV and other stuff besides free shipping. I'm not
interested either and much prefer using Walmart who ships practically
free on anything. If you only buy small items, they will let you add
additional small items until you reach the free shipping level. My wife
bought little things like saccharine tablets, a hair net and seeds and
got free shipping.

You don't have to have Prime to get free shipping from Amazon. Just like
Walmart, if your order exceeds $25 there's a free option. What Prime was
offering pre-Covid was free same/one/two day shipping. That seems to slowly
coming back.

Yes, I plan ahead and I almost never need esp. speedy shippping, so it's
always free. Even when I think I could use something tomorrow, I've
noticed the days go by, I keep busy, and before I know it the package
has arrived when originally scheduled.** Twice, just 2 or 3 days
before leaving on a trip, I didn't have something I needed for the trip,
so I joined Prime for a month for free and then cancelled it. Amazon
doesn't seem to have any problem with this, because each time on the
very next order, they said I could join Prime again for one more free
month.

One of those times, I didn't cancel when I should have, 5 days late, and
when I did cancel, they refunded the second month's charge since I
hadn't actually bought or shipped anything during the second month. I
think they did this without my even asking. (I wasn't going to ask. I
thought it was my punishment for not paying attention. I don't know
anyone else who refunds monthly charges just because benefits weren't
taken advantage of.)

IMO, that's why Amazon is so successful, they don't screw with their
customers, they refund money you spent but got nothing for. Except for
one big, every-time exception. Even though the individual items all say
Free Shipping, and in the upper right corner it says "Free shipping when
qualified order goes over $25 (or whatever it is at the moment)" until
it does go over that number, when it says "Free Shipping", that's only
true until you get to the checkout page, and there, they never set you
up with the free shipping. It's always $8 to get the package a day or
two earlier. You have to click on Free Shipping again to get what they
said you would get. I'm used to this now, I always remember to check,
and I've never made a mistake and paid extra, but it's pretty sleazy and
in contradiction to what I just said about their not screwing with their
customers.


**I used to enjoy watching the tracking. It was like watching my horse
run a race, except I always won. Now most Amazon shipments don't show
anything except two days in advance they ship, and two days later it's
here. Ebay is more entertaining.

Yes, I think most know that and shipping is free from many others when
you go beyond a certain level. I am addressing the small stuff and also
finds stuff comes faster from Walmart than Amazon if you do not have prime.

Same here, and the military discount drops the annual cost to $80-ish, so

We also use the streaming music, as well. It's a nice change of pace from
local radio, since it's ad free and DJ free. No inane blabber, just music
while we work in the yard.

When I lived in San Antonio, just a few miles from an Amazon warehouse, I
could always tell when an item would ship from that warehouse because one
of the options was 1-hour delivery, even on Sundays. One hour delivery
usually meant 20-30 minutes, but one time a lady drove up in her minivan,
15 minutes after I ordered, and handed me my item. It all sounds very
efficient, but people hate the working conditions and tend to burn out.
