Does Amazon Prime give you free shipping on everything?
Not everything on Amazon ships free. Some things to note:

A special product, order or handling fee may still apply even if your order is $25 or more

Some items shipped to Alaska and Hawaii may not be eligible for free shipping

Some third-party sellers do not offer free shipping

If you are not an Amazon Prime member, your order must amounts to $25 or more to receive free shipping

How much does Amazon charge for shipping?
How much Amazon charges for shipping depends on what you order. Amazon calculates your shipping cost by adding the “per shipment” cost and the “per item” cost. For more specifics, visit Amazon’s help and customer service page on the topic.

How can I check the status of my order(s)?

How does Amazon ship perishable items?

Between May and October 1, some products need special packaging with Styrofoam containers and cooling gel packs to make sure they arrive in good condition. Because this special handling is required, there is a charge of $1.99 per item and are not eligible for free shipping or Amazon Prime. Expedited chilled shipping also is not available to P.O. boxes.

Which carriers deliver packages for Amazon?
Amazon partners with dozens of global carriers to deliver its packages. Carriers within the U.S. include UPS, the United States Postal Service, DHL Express and FedEx. You can see a list of international carriers Amazon uses here.

Yes. Amazon can ship packages to customers in more than 100 countries throughout the world. Eligible customers can benefit from free AmazonGlobal Standard Shipping. Otherwise, the cost to ship products to other countries varies by location and package size.

Amazon is a retail giant that continues to dominate its industry. Jeff Bezos founded Amazon as an online bookseller in 1994 in Seattle, Washington, and it (along with its marketplace of millions of sellers) has grown to encompass tech, fashion, home goods, groceries, electronic subscriptions and so much more. And don't forget about Prime Day (not that anyone could). Amazon's yearly sale acts as a mid-year counterpoint to Black Friday and offers its members exclusive deals. These days, Amazon exists as the shopping cart for literally everything you want. Want to order groceries that you need in literally hours? Amazon will do that. Want to buy a new tablet, a swimsuit, toys, furniture and cereal in bulk, all in one order? You can do that on Amazon. Amazon has also gotten into the streaming business and entertainment powerhouse, too, with Prime Video and Amazon Music unlimited. Oh, and thanks to Amazon's Echo smarthome line, you can use its smart assistant, Alexa to control your lights, play music and order more stuff from Amazon, of course!
