Amazon.com Offers Free Shipping this Holiday Season with no Minimum Requirement

This year Amazon is getting into the holiday spirit by offering free shipping with no minimum purchase, this is the first time that Amazon has done this. The holidays are a competitive time for retailers, where they typically make the most income. With Amazon offering free shipping, other companies will likely be lowering their shipping costs in an attempt to compete.

Amazon has cut shipping before but not to this extent, in May Amazon cut it’s shipping minimum from $35.00 to $25.00 indefinitely. Amazons holiday deal will last until they can no longer promise items in time for Christmas with free delivery, which typically takes five to eight days. For shoppers who would like their orders sooner, they can sign up for Amazon Prime. The $119 year-long membership includes same-day shipping and video streaming.

Just over half of all U.S. households have a Prime subscription, analysts estimate, and lots of Amazon sellers offer 2-day shipping with the membership. Frux Home and Yard is one of the sellers on Amazon who offer quick shipping to Prime members. Frux Home and Yard specialize in providing high-quality home entertaining and cooking supplies.

Both Frux Home and Yards black silicone oven mitts and tea lights with luminaries are a favorite item for shoppers during the holidays, as stated by Mike MacDonald, social media manager for Frux Home and Yard. “The holidays are a very busy time for us as we offer a lot of diverse products that make for really great gifts, especially for those hard to buy for people. We can almost guarantee we will sell out of our black silicone oven mitts and tea lights with luminaries more than once before Christmas.”
