#NCP
Late night thought:
I'm honestly surprised Amazon still offers free and relatively fast delivery on any order of $35 in Canada (over $25 in the States). I figured they would have found a way to wind it down, or make it more restrictive, or jack it up to $50 or $75 or whatever by now.
But nope. It was "free for over $35" when Amazon Canada launched over a decade ago, and still that way today.
I know it's a big biz strategy, and the shipping costs are worked into their margins, but still... big corps are always looking for new ways to nickle and dime us all. ;)
