Amazon gives non-Prime members free shipping at $35 or more of eligible items. Instead of simply letting users get the product with free shipping, they've added a discount that prices it exactly one cent below the $35 limit, while only subsidizing the price with $3.38, which is about half of what they'll then charge you for shipping.

Why would you order from amazon instead of directly from ifixit?

Can't say I find this surprising, especially not coming from a #GAMAM. (Formerly #GAFAM)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

wouldn't it be AAMAM because Alphabet?

I say we keep the word we know

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Except all of Alphabet entreprises have a name starting by Google. (Or at least strongly evocating it, in the case of Gmail.)

We can't say the same about Meta. Instagram isn't called "Facebook Gallery", and Threads isn't called "Facebook Short Messages". (And Oculus didn't become "Facebook VR", just Meta.)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, those are Google products, Alphabet is Google's parent company and also holds many other companies like Waze and Doubleclick.

You used to be able to buy digital Amazon gift cards for a dollar. You would use the credit on your next purchase anyway. But they’ve raised the minimum to $5.

I am confused by this thread, do you only have Amazon and eBay in US?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (3 children)

There are ebooks listed for exactly 1 cent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

just order the same from temu/aliexpress - skip Jeff Bezos pockets

I don't want to deal with their abysmal costumer service, and I'm not giving my address and phone number to some Chinese data center if I can help it.

You have to select "prime eligible" items. Are these penny ebooks included in the minimum purchase total?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am going to publish a bunch of 1c, 2c and 5c ebooks now 🙏

In a battle against the honorless you are a warrior of great wisdom.
