Amazon Drops Free Shipping Minimum, Again

Seattle-based Amazon has dropped its minimum purchase to get free shipping, to $25, down from an earlier $35, in response to a free shipping battle between the e-commerce giant and Walmart. Amazon had earlier lowered its free shipping threshhold to $35 in February, down from $49, after Walmart dropped its free shipping minimum. Amazon offers free shipping on nearly all orders to Amazon Prime members, who must pay $99 a year for Amazon's membership service.
