Regular prime items, yes, they are free in terms of shipping; look next to an item. If it says "Prime", it'll be free. If it says, "Prime pantry", it falls into that second category. For example, if you want 12 boxes of item X, it'll likely be on regular prime. If you want 1 box of item X, it's

Keith, it is a specific program for shipping small items usually. You have a “Prime Pantry Box”. As you add items to this box, similar to a regular cart, you fill up a percentage of the box. Next to the item, it will say, “This item fills 13% of your prime pantry box”, for instance; if you order

I haven't done anything to my phone today but it's suddenly speaking punctuation, as in it says double hyphen tap to open period. Never have had that happen before. Guess I'll shut it down and re start it to see if it clears up. Patti-- Avoid being judgmental and your personal peace will increase.
