Amazon's Free shipping

[Patronus]

I just went to Amazon and noticed that instead of free shipping for orders over $25, they have bumped it up to $35 for free shipping. So sad....

Also, you used to be able count on them having the lowest prices.. not anymore....

Check around.... They are starting to rip you off....

LOL...Yep. I was thinking about getting another Glock 78 or 81 field knife. Amazon ends up being right at $35 either way($35 with free shipping or $3o PLUS shipping = $35). MidwayUSA has them for $27.99 and the shipping estimator says free shipping. Guess who I'm ordering from...

I still love Amazon.

We have 3 Kindles in the house and a Prime membership. Prime pays for itself year after year. We shop more online than we do stores.

Rip off might be a bit strong, but they're definitely not the cheapest all the time. They are convenient as heck and their customer service is great though.

As for their prices, they change a lot. You can track prices on this site and it will alert you when a price drops to a certain point. It's pretty awesome:

We have prime, and that is the best money spent each year. Not everything on Amazon is cheaper than other places, which is why I don't buy everything from Amazon.

They do have great customer service and a great return policy.

Sometimes their prices are higher because it isn't coming from Amazon, but rather a 3rd party and then you don't get the benefits of prime membership.

Prime is the greatest. I spend more money with Amazon because of it than I do any other store except Publix. Now if only they'd delivery groceries...

I have to agree with the above comments about Prime Membership. It's been the best money spent for my house. There are so many times that I have to get something quickly but don't have time to run to the store & I just place the order online instead & it's there within 48 hours. I don't use the instant video very much because I prefer Netflix but I'm sure I'll end up using it one day out and about traveling or something.
