Excellent - now they can compete with Play.com on a level playing field

About time too.


Play.com have been offering the same items as Amazon at near identical prices for years, yet delivery was included at Play.com

Don't forget http://www.filleritem.com/uk.html if you need to spend a little more to get yourself to the free delivery level.

The easiest way I've found to check is to enter the book title in bookbrain.co.uk and it gives you a list of retailers and prices, with book price and postage price as well as the total.

just tried this out. The only problem i can see with bookbrain is that it doesn't search Play.com and that it doesn't give prices on used books. But, if you need a new book and a range of prices it is superb. Thanks

Amazon UK has just emailed to say that with immediate effect, the minimum spend to qualify for the FREE "SuperSaver" delivery is £5 -- not £15.

That's a helluva reduction, so I thought I'd post the news here.

Amazon have reduced the cost of a purchase to receive free delivery down to £5. from£15.

I saw tht- then I clicked through to find you had to join an amazon savers scheme for £50 a year to get delivery of £5 a shot!

Suddenly didn't seem like such a good deal anymore...

Don't know what you are reading, but nowhere via the link I provided does it mention that! Also delivery is not £5 a shot on any of those 2, it is free delivery for items goods over £5 in value, for my post, and unlimited free delivery for the £49. Amazon Prime.


Looking at rockin_plumbers post above, the one you seem to be talking about is optional, ( Amazon Prime), and not what I posted, and by joining that it appears to me that delivery is free for any item for a full year, which is probaly OK if you order a lot of items under £5, but with the reduced £5 value that now qualifies for free delivery, there is pretty well no need to join the Amazon Prime.


Although maybe some benefits of Amazon Prime; -

Simple Shopping

• No minimum purchases required.
• Members-only 1-Click buttons on item detail pages.
• No need to think about delivery charges when you order.

Convenient Sharing

• Share benefits with up to four family members living in the same household.
