Amazon Free Shipping minimum is now $49
This is just assuming that they'll even let you order $49 worth of items in one box.<p>I let my Amazon Prime lapse because I was rarely using it.<p>A few weeks ago I decided to do a bulk order. I ordered 18 items with a total of $110. They split my shipment into three packages of approximately $50, $50, and one item by itself in another box for $10. Since one of the boxes didn't have $35, they tried to charge me shipping.<p>I simply removed that item but instead of having two $50 boxes, the shopping cart removed an item from a box and put it into a box by itself to ensure that I had to pay shipping. I spent two hours adding and removing items to discover that there is no way to get free shipping for multiple items anymore.<p>Eventually I contacted customer service and they said they would take care of it and ship it in one box with no shipping cost.<p>Three weeks later and my order finally shipped, in 5 boxes, with 5 shipping fees charged to my card.
