Amazon Rolls Out Free Shipping to Every Customer for Holiday Season

There will be a no minimum spending amount required for free shipping this holiday season.

November 5, 2018

E-commerce giant, Amazon, is drawing more customers to its platform by offering free shipping on all holiday orders, regardless if you're a Prime member or not.

Previously, the company required a minimum of $25 to qualify for free shipping for non-prime users. Prime members, who already have free two-day shipping, will be offered free same-day delivery shopping during the holiday season, CBS reports.

According to CBS, for the quarter ending in December, the retailer expects revenue in the range of $66.5 billion to $72.5 billion.

Sales all around are expected to grow this year between 4.3 and 4.8 percent, according to the National Retail Federation.
