Amazon has recently implemented a change to their delivery policy that has caused quite a stir among their customers. Many people have been left feeling frustrated and angry after discovering this major change, especially those who do not have a Prime membership.
It turns out that Amazon has quietly raised the minimum spend requirement for free shipping from £25 to £35. This means that in order to qualify for free delivery, shoppers now have to spend an extra £10. Amazon has stated that this increase is due to a "number of external factors," but has not provided any further explanation.
Understandably, customers are not happy with this sudden increase in price. Some have even called it "ridiculous" and "extortionate." On social media, one user expressed their frustration by saying, "When did Amazon delivery go up to £35? Ridiculous." Another user called out Amazon for being "thieving b******s."
It seems that this change has caught many people off guard, as they were not expecting such a significant increase. One user tweeted, "I get that Amazon wants to push Prime to non-members, but now adding an extra tenner to spend £35 for free delivery is a bit extortionate."
While some customers have pointed out that there are alternative options, such as using Amazon lockers or pickup locations, these may not be convenient for everyone. Additionally, not all items are available for pickup.
There is also the option of getting a Prime membership, but even then, there is a fee of £1.99 for same-day delivery on orders under £20. An Amazon spokesperson explained that there are "external factors" influencing shipping costs, and that they are constantly working to bring more value to their customers.
Despite this change, Amazon is still offering unlimited, fast, and free One-Day Delivery for Prime members on millions of items, regardless of the order value.
