If you are not an Amazon Prime user, then you will not be thrilled to hear that Amazon has increased its free shipping minimum by 40%. Specifically, the free shipping minimum has increased to $49 from $35. The price increase makes it easier for Prime users to justify the $99 per year ($49 for students) they are paying for two-day shipping and free same-day delivery in eligible zip codes plus access to Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Photos, Prime Pantry, Prime Early Access, the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library and Amazon Family discounts. The last time Amazon increased its free shipping minimum was in 2013 when it went from $25 to $35. Fortunately, the free shipping minimum for books will remain at $25.
