I'm not sure what the BN.com threshold for free shipping is, but I use it more as a restraint. If what I want right now doesn't qualify for free shipping, I just put it on my wish list instead.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
$79, I think.
Which only seems worth it if you order a lot and order often. Because even if your shipping per order is $6-7, that's 1 order a month. And I don't order stuff from Amazon that often.

And if you do order a lot, you get the free shipping anyway. So it'd be one order a month for less than $25, or you have the urgent needs.

Free slow shipping, though. The $79 thing gives you free (or prepaid, technically) 2-day shipping.

I don't disagree. That would be what I was alluding to with the "urgent needs."

Right. I just can't think of any urgent Amazon needs I might have. If I really want something that fast, I'll get it from a real store.

You can also use the premium shipping for up to 4 people in your household.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thank GOD I can get my Netflix mailed back to me one day after I post it myself, but have to wait a few days for B&N. Netflix money? Fixed cost, timeliness is appreciated. Instant trade paperbacks would wreak havok with the impulse impulse (or even the Impulse impulse).

In theory. In practice, not so far.
