Hmmm, Amazon Prime one-day shipping is now 5.99 for some items -- nm - ty97 Jul 2, 05:47 12
- Speaking of Prime - do the rules of "Add-On Items" (free shipping with an additional $25 in purchases) apply to Prime members too? - kelly Jul 2, 05:57 7
  - if you don't have prime, link me to an item that's add-on and I'll check for you. -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 05:59

- Yeah, according to this it is now based on size and weight and starts at $2.99. I randomly checked on one item and it was $2.99 for me... -- (link) - Don Homer Jul 2, 05:52 1
  - I was just ordering two items. 3.99 and 5.99 were the one-day offers. - ty97 Jul 2, 05:57

so Canadians are just allowed to have Canada Day parties in our parks without permission? -- nm - charlie Jul 1, 23:00 2
