Amazon raised its free shipping minimum on Tuesday from $25 to $35. You won't find this change telegraphed on the main page next to the Kindle. In fact, it's kind of hard to find at all.
But it's there, hidden in the depths. "Amazon's minimum order size for free shipping has changed to $35. This is the first time in more than a decade that Amazon has altered the minimum order for free shipping in the U.S.," says the succinct page the company put up to announce the decision.
Ten dollars is not necessarily a huge increase, and $35 for free shipping is still a much better deal than most specialty sites. Best Buy is offering free shipping when you buy $25 worth of merchandise but the offer has many exclusions—read the fine print carefully.
