The add-ons are super annoying, but I understand why they do it. I usually just order diapers/wipes to get me to $25+ because I know we'll use those eventually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1201038 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 09:11:07 +0000 littlebug 1201038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: Thanks! I'll do that now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1201009 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 09:01:56 +0000 purrpletulips 1201009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Doesn't affect me because I have prime, but I log onto Amazon every day to check for the free app and do not recall ever seeing anything about this on their home page. Also, just another gripe but I HATE the add-on items. I understand why they have them but it is still annoying when you want something but can only order it if you already have an order over $25. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1201008 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 09:01:22 +0000 lawbee11 1201008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Do you have any family members you could split a membership with? You're allowed to invite up to four people to share it with. I share ours with my mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1200974 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 08:45:56 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1200974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: as a Prime member, you can designate up to five family members to get Prime shipping benefits :) its under your Prime account settings, you send them an invite and they accept it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1200971 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 08:44:03 +0000 littlebug 1200971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a Prime member, but Hubs isn't. I should let him know. Can you add someone to your Prime membership? I should look into that.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1200965 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 08:41:43 +0000 blackbird 1200965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know that, but I have Prime :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1200898 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 08:13:56 +0000 littlek 1200898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have prime, so it doesn't affect me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1200858 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 07:51:55 +0000 Mae 1200858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: before i had prime I would just stack my buys. Like rather than buying something immediately when I wanted it if it was $10, I'd put it in my cart then walk away for a week until I needed something that was $20 and then buy them together for the free shipping! With holiday shopping you can probably condense down to just a couple orders over $35 I'd think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1200854 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 07:51:16 +0000 yin 1200854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily the add on items have remained the same at $25. I'm not affected with the increase since I have Prime. It's smart on Amazon's part to get more people to pay for Prime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1200841 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 07:38:46 +0000 Adira 1200841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know, but I recently switched to Prime, so it doesn't affect me either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-increases-free-shipping-minimum-to-35#post-1200744 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 03:34:53 +0000 sorrycharlie 1200744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh! Didn't know about this and can't swing prime. So lame.
