Amazon: Avoid shipping costs
Since August 14, 2014, orders at Amazon have only been free of shipping costs from 29 euros. We show you here how you can legally avoid the shipping costs.
Avoid shipping costs with an additional order
- Even before the change, you could avoid the shipping costs at Amazon with an additional order from the categories book, audio book and calendar.
- To do this, you simply need to add one of these items to your order. Then you only pay the price of the additional item instead of the 3 Euro shipping, as these are delivered free of shipping costs.
- An example of such an article would be the following rose stickers. However, such accessories are often sold out very quickly: Many customers only buy them to save on shipping costs.
- Alternatively, you can also order a product that is not yet available at this time. As a rule, Amazon sends the already available products free of charge immediately after ordering, even if the value is less than the minimum order value of 29 euros. If you don't want it, simply delete the item that was not yet available at the time, for example a CD or a game, from your shopping cart.
Save shipping costs with Amazon Prime
- If you convert your Amazon account into a so-called Prime membership, you can use the Amazon premium shipping free of charge.
- Students can even use this premium service completely free of charge for one year. To do this, you need to log in to this special Amazon website.
Amazon: Special shipping cost wishlist
- If you do not have a Prime membership and do not want to burden the environment unnecessarily with additional orders, it is advisable to create a special wish list.
- You can create various wishlists under your Amazon account. So you can also create one with very cheap items that you don't currently need so much, but maybe in the future.
- So you can simply add items from this wish list to your orders that are still below the free shipping limit. Articles such as toothbrushes, cotton swabs or lighter gas are recommended. Because these articles can be stored well at home and, in contrast to a cheap book or rose stickers, will also be useful in the future.
