Amazon gives non-Prime members free shipping at $35 or more of eligible items. Instead of simply letting users get the product with free shipping, they’ve added a discount that prices it exactly one cent below the $35 limit, while only subsidizing the price with $3.38, which is about half of what they’ll then charge you for shipping.

    So they’re getting you to buy more than you wanted or pull the trigger on something you were waiting on. Sounds like this is still a win for Amazon.

      Saved me $4, I’m fine with it.

      We need another amazon to beat the existing amazon up, retail sales are just bloated and dead.

      OR, how about we start getting mom and pop shops to do local ecommerse with delivery.
