I learned about this earlier today from Ina Steiner at EcommerceBytes:
Amazon has raised the bar to qualify for free shipping through its “Free Super Saver Shipping” program, increasing the minimum requirement from $25 to $35.

.
- Try it free for 30 days!
- Unlimited free two-day shipping
- No minimum order size
- $79 a year
Please note that though they hawk all kinds of videos and movies and what-not, the unlimited free shipping is for all kinds of stuff.
So give the free trial of Amazon Prime a 30-day test run. If you don’t like it, just be sure to cancel in time.
