05/19 - torturous Tuesday

[HelloHello]

Weird on Amazon just now - I went to order $25 of eligible for free shipping items and it insisted that I order with 'membership' in Prime for 'eligible for prime' items . . . allowed me to order less than $25 and get free shipping on items not eligible for prime but that promised free shipping . . . big change . . . Due to folks dropping their Prime Memberships because of shipping delays? I suspect so as lots of new stories about it. Good for me as I don't have to meet that $25 threshold for free shipping.
