Amazon UK terminates Free shipping to Europe

Maybe Amazon is finally getting serious about actually making a profit as they watch their stock price tank.

Companies are in business for a reason. To make money.

Yeah, you are in the second wave of countries to lose this privilege.

We lost it last summer.

FREE Super Saver Delivery on eligible orders over £25 is currently available to Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Gibraltar, Iceland, Republic of Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal and Sweden.

FREE Super Saver Delivery to Italy, Spain, Andorra, Greece, Liechtenstein, Norway, San Marino and the Vatican City on eligible orders over £25 was available on orders placed up to and including June 11, 2013 (GMT).

I'm not spoiled, I can understand that there are shipping costs etc but their shipping charges are insane compared to the competition.

Amazon.co.uk's shipping charge for a videogame is ~4,5 ($7,45) pounds and it used to be ~6 ($9,94).

Shipping from Amazon.ca/.com and DeepDiscount is cheaper than that!

They should have raised the minimum amount needed to qualify for free shipping, not cancel it altogether.

I lost free shipping last year, but I could still live with paying £2.5 for shipping.

Today I was ordering a box-set and suddenly they wanted £6.5!

Zavvi still has free shipping to Norway, so I guess I will pay more attention to their Monday sales from now on.
