3 Ways to Get Free Amazon Shipping Without Prime

I just had to order a micro USB card.  Amazon’s price was 12.60.  They added tax and then a whopping EIGHT BUCKS to ship that tiny thing.  One of Amazon’s sellers with a 99% rating was offering it for 12.74, no tax, and free shipping.  Which one do you think I picked?  I can wait five days.
Check those other sellers, folks!

I have done that of using pre-order items to total $49 and then canceled the items once order was delivered. Tried it again about 2 months ago & Amazon must have caught on to the trick cuz they wouldn’t let me cancel & I had to purchase the pre-order DVD when it came out.

Prime membership is over-rated, unless you order from Amazon every week. Most people don’t.

Prime is overly complicated, bordering on deceitful. Only a minority of items are “eligible” for free shipping, even once you’ve paid a lot to be a Prime member.

It’s been frustrating, having bought Prime myself, to discover most items I’m trying to purchase are not “eligible” for Prime free shipping. Amazon is gouging customers.

I have ordered several items from amazon .How do I get a price on an item without joining primetime

I had Amazon Prime mainly because I needed a fan right away. I bought some other things but at the end of the month it was easy to cancel and I was not charged.

As someone who has used and paid for the Prime membership for many years, it is slightly confusing to me how people feel the cost is too much and only sign up for trial memberships to cancel after the trial period. Sounds like you also sign up for trial memberships for streaming on Netflix and Hulu and quickly cancel, too.
If you find the yearly membership cost a burden, then pay the shipping cost, which by the way are set by the carriers which Amazon uses—USPS, UPS, etc.  I personally would rather pay once a year to get guaranteed free 2 day shipping. 
If you have ever mailed/shipped a package cost is determined by size of package, weight, type of shipping ,speed of shipping and where it is going. The slowest/cheapest form of shipping takes anywhere from 2-3 weeks and is hard to track.  At least with Amazon, I get a tracking record to follow for every package. Biggest problem I have ever had was with the delivery personnel not putting package at my door but leaving it elsewhere. In those cases, I wrote in to Amazon and that problem was resolved fast.
I don’t buy just from Amazon and there are places I pay for the shipping and I chose the carrier and speed of my delivery (part of cost of buying). I get free shipping from B&N because I am a member which means I pay a yearly fee.
I can only assume that those who are complaining of the Prime membership fee, don’t shop often on Amazon and do most of their online shopping elsewhere. It is your budget, it has worked for me.
I know for a fact if you are noted as a overly complainer ( constantly returning items just to get money back after using item , start a Prime membership and cancel, etc.—You will be blacklisted off site for a year, minimum and may have to get special permission to return as a customer.  Amazon does note those who attempt to fraud system. Another reason, I enjoy shopping with them.

Amazon uses the P.O. To deliver a lot of things now. The p.o. Delivers only to the front desk of my apt. Building not my door,
It’s a nuiscance.  I am a senior citizen and can’t lug packages from the lobby.  So I see no use to joining prime.  Will try other vendors!!

I have the same question other seniors ask.  Why does Amazon not offer a decent discount for seniors.  Not all of us can afford your monthly or yearly cost to subscribe.

I use other vendors that deliver to my 6th
Floor apt. door. Big packages delivered to
the lobby are a headache.  Amazon is inconsistent whether a small or large package is delivered by the Post Office.
I have no problem with delivers by FedEx or
UPS.

I have made multiple responses to this site as regards continuing Amazon Prime membership, which works for my needs. If anyone disagrees with me, don’t make a comment that I am stupid because I don’t agree with your view, make instead a constructive argument showing your stand. I know very well that some people like to go for the cheapest version of a service agreement and have different ideas about how they achieve it, which is great for their situation. But remember that I am speaking from experience of a long term use of Amazon service and long term shopping experience. Do what works for you, and stop being critical of alternate opinions for whatever reasons you choose. No one is perfect, so act like an adult and think before you remark on an opposing view. This is my 2021 view of life—life will never be a dream world, I just live with the best tools I can.—Which is why I don’t Facebook, as there are too many censors to real opinions and no constructive conversations.

how much in would cost me to send a 14 kilo box to the usa i need help i dont nothing guys help

o Bre & the others who are so entitled, calm down.  I like most bombers went to work in our teens.  My 1st job was bagging groceries & my 1st day was my 16th birthday. I enjoyed the money & freedom & worked 30+ hrs year round & took every shift I could.  I then went on to college at night & paid every cent myself.  In the 50 yrs in retail I never made a ton, but raised a family. I had Prime for awhile & while I could afford it just canceled.  In the last year I ordered 2-3 times & not once did I watch Prime Video nor listened to Prime Music.  At $139 a year it’s nuts.

I don’t understand why they keep adding a bunch of features that no one wants.  I already have Spotify, I don’t need an Amazon Music membership.  I rarely find anything on Amazon Prime Video to watch, so I don’t need that either.  Just give me a reduced price membership with free shipping only and skip all the other fluff including the one free book a month or whatever the Audible deal is they are offering.

I have been charged for prime membership a couple of months. I did not ask for prime nor do I want it. Please, please cancel the prime charges.    Roger Rooker
