amazon minimum up
#20
Elsewhere I've read that if you are eventually considering purchasing something from amazon it is suggested that you add it to either your cart (even if you delete it) or add it to your wishlist. When amazon's algorithms see a lot of such activity it tells their sales people it is an item people are considering and amazon may use their purchasing power to get the item cheaper so customers will convert from shoppers to buyers.

Amazon has had some problems with order fulfillment speed to Alaska and Hawaii but at the same time they are often the only merchant who is crazy enough to even consider shipping things like 50# bags of livestock feed, mattresses, tires, and other items here for FREE. Hence, I give them some slack.

They never charge your credit card until the item(s) actually ship. Ultimately, they want you to pay as QUICKLY as possible and the sooner they ship, the sooner they get paid. It seems ridiculous to me when they take 10 days before finally shipping out something like a smoke detector yet they will ship out two huge solar panels within 9 hours... but remember Amazon is actually a family of companies with an additional tens of thousands (millions?) of independent merchants operating under their seamless web site and customer support portals.
