I've noticed that for most items I've been looking at, there is a shipping charge with the expected date of receiving the item. Or "free delivery once shipped". The "Free Prime" moniker is getting harder and harder to find. I don't know if that is a "Hawaii thing" or not, but clearly if one wants an estimated delivery window, now we have to pay for it.
It looks like they are trying to basically do away with the free Prime shipping to Hawaii, following in the footsteps of Walmart which recently added a "location surcharge". Currently, Target is still offering free shipping to Hawaii, but also most of the items are also shipped from Hawaii. Most things arrive from either Lihue or Honolulu.
Amazon lost $3.8B last year. Maybe the Amazon Paradise Tax is going to be a thing.
I almost forgot to add- For the hour I spent in chat with them and getting no resolution- I had a $5.00 "courtesy credit" on my account.
Pro-tip: If an item is available as "subscribe and save" not only will you get 5-15% off, you get a delivery date.
