Amazon Free Shipping now starts at $49? - steve... - 02-22-2016
I must have been dozing. When did this happen?

And 2-day shipping is really kinda 3-day. I placed an order with Prime this morning (Monday) at 9am. Scheduled delivery date is Thursday. How is that 2 days?!

I can live with it as long as everything else about Amazon stays relatively the same for the time being. Just let things build up in the cart a bit longer....

Oh the horror.

I think the price increase just started today.
Hopefully my MIL keeps her Prime membership that we are sharing. We are grandfathered in for the sharing, just hope they don't change that part again.

I think they announced it a few months ago. I usually wait until I have enough to do free shipping before I pull the trigger.

It's like they're trying to turn a profit or something.

I know, after destroying countless small businesses around the country it only seems fair they be rewarded for it!

I'm not trying to get this topic moved to the other side. I was just pointing out that Amazon has yet to be profitable (particularly in their retail business).

Anecdotally, I have observed that AMZN is slowly ratcheting down the speed of free prime delivery up here in AK - as I'm sure we're not always the cheapest place to send stuff - in what I surmise is an effort to get people to pay more for the 2-day or overnight options.
