Jeff Bezos customer email
Dear Customer,
For a little more than two months now, we've been testing Free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $49. That test has worked well enough that we're now ready, effective immediately, to lower the threshold again and test Free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25.
Like last time, this is a long-term test, which we expect to run for 3 to 6 months. We hope the results will allow us to make this new $25 threshold permanent. Either way, at the conclusion of the test, we'll let you know if it's possible to leave this in place.
So, please enjoy this test! It now takes only 1 or 2 books, CDs, or DVDs to qualify for free shipping, and of course, almost all electronics, tools, and kitchen products qualify with just one item.
Sincerely,
Jeff Bezos
Founder & CEO
Amazon.com
PS: To give some perspective, with Amazon.com's 30% off books over $15 and Free Super Saver Shipping on orders over $25, there may be reasons to shop in the physical world, but price is not one of them. You will save a significant amount of money when you buy at Amazon.com.
