We buy less from Amazon since they hiked the free shipping minimum from 25 to 35. We will buy even less at 49. Sometimes you just don’t need fifty dollars of stuff. Amazon does a lot of good merchandising things but this one move is The Pits. ( they should instead go for free shipping all the time, they’d sell a whole lot more that way!)
I used to be able to find great deals on many products (10% or more savings vs. box retail), but now their prices are the same as the box stores. Now on Amazon you pay retail price, sales tax, and they charge you $99/yr. to do it.
Genius!
That being said, my wife and I use the streaming music service every day and would use the streaming video if our TV supported it. When we buy a new TV w/ Amazon, we’ll cancel Netflix.
