Amazon has lowered the minimum required for free two-day US shipping to $35


A year ago, Amazon raised its free two day shipping minimum to $49 for non-Prime members. This weekend, the company decided to drop the price back down to $35. That threshold applies to shoppers who are not Prime members, and the minimum for free shipping on books remains $25.
While Prime users already get free shipping on their orders, non-members now only have to spend $35 at a minimum in order to get free shipping on eligible items. The minimum order for books has remained the same at $25.

Amazon appears to be working to compete with traditional retailers looking to muscle their way into the online retail space. Last month, Walmart introduced free two day shipping on orders $35 and over, while Best Buy introduced its own $35, two day free shipping for its members last July.
It's all part of an apparent battle for online shoppers who have yet to join Prime. An estimated 44 percent of US households subscribe to Prime, making them far more likely to shop regularly with Amazon.
Amazon raised the minimum amount for free shipping a year ago to $49 from $35. It upped the price to $35 from $25 in 2013.

While they may not look as high end as the Moto Z lineup, both devices feature a premium aesthetic that rival other devices in this price range. Both devices have metal finishes , which is a nice step up from their plasticky-feeling predecessors. You’ll also notice the large circular camera sensors on the back, which resemble the ones on the Moto Z. While the design of the two devices may be quite similar, here’s where things start to differ quite a bit. The Moto G5 sports a 5.0-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 . Under the hood, it features a 1.4GHz Snapdragon 430 chipset , either 2 or 3GB of RAM (depending on the...
