Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has announced that it’s tripling the number of “Free Shipping” items.
Amazon said that it’s changing how its Free Shipping works to bring customers better deals. The new changes make it so that customers don’t have to order all of their items from the same buyer to qualify for Free Shipping. However, they are still required to spend $35 or more to get the benefit, reports The Chicago Tribune.
The change also makes it so that customers can combine free shipping offered by third-party sellers with Amazon free shipping offers to reach the $35 requirement. Items eligible for Free Shipping will state so on their pages. Free Shipping from the online retailer takes five to eight business days to arrive, The Tribune notes.
“This free shipping expansion more than triples the millions of items eligible to contribute for free shipping,” Amazon told GeekWire.
The addition of third-part items to the Free Shipping requirement also helps out those sellers. It adds an incentive to them to offer free shipping and gives their items a better chance of being ordered along with those offered by Amazon, reports EcommerceBytes.
