Amazon.com Increases Shipping Fees
Costs are up for free "Super Saver Shipping" from online retailer, just a week before Massachusetts residents have to start paying sales tax on orders.
As the holiday season fast approaches, plan to pay a little more for shipping from Amazon.com.
The world’s largest online retailer increased the minimum for its free “Super Saver Shipping” from $25 to $35 this week, the first increase in nearly a decade.
For Massachusetts shoppers, it’s a double whammy as the increase in shipping comes on the heels of Amazon starting to collect state sales tax from Massachusetts customers.
