“Amazon.com recently announced changes to their Free Super Saver Shipping program. First, the minimum order size for ‘free shipping’ has increased to $35 from $25. Second, it is officially getting slower: ‘With free shipping, your order will be delivered 5-8 business days after all of your items are available to ship, including pre-order items.’ So not only will it take up to 2 weeks to get your stuff, that is only after every single thing is ready to ship. Various media outlets have their theories on why this happened – higher shipping costs? Amazon about to record huge losses? Shareholder revolt? My interpretation: The loss-leader party is starting to wind down.”
