Re: Question about Amazon Prime

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

Re: Question about Amazon Prime

Kay, beside an item, it will say "Prime eligible" or "Prime pantry". I have found that if the item is regular prime eligible, you usually see a date for delivery; if it is prime pantry, you won't see that either because it's 3-5 days, at least it was last time I checked, to get a prime pantry

Re: Question about Amazon Prime

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
