Amazon has announced that shoppers without prime will receive free standard on items shipped by Amazon, with no minimum spend required (add on items excluded). The promotion will be running for all orders arriving in time for Christmas, with no formal cut off date announced. Normally non prime members need to spend at least $25 to receive free shipping. If you’re thinking of making an Amazon purchase this holiday season, read our complete guide to saving money on Amazon first.
Also Bezos, if you’re reading how about a promotion for prime members considering this is usually a benefit of holding prime?

This is False information.... There is still a $25 minimum for free shipping and today is 12/11/19.. Amazon is not offering free shipping for the holidays again this year.
Is this a dud or is this only available for mainland US? Hasn't worked in any account. I still need a minimum of $25 to get free shipping.
This does not appear to be true.
The source is likely https://press.aboutamazon.com/news-releases/news-release-details/amazon-announces-fast-free-and-convenient-delivery-options which does not seem to say that the minimum is waived, which other blog(s) correctly note.
I don't have prime. I still have to pay for shipping. This deal is fake.
yeah, they are still charging the shipping fees
doesn't work right now
No free shipping available yet. I tested today November 11 and still is charging shipping for any order of less than $25
Wish we knew the start date.
@will After looking at all the news on this and press release from Amazon, it doesn't say anything about offering Free shipping for nonPrime with no minimum. They are just offering more options for Prime members like one-day and same-day delivery with no minimum purchase amount.
A week has passed and Amazon still isn't offering free shipping with no minimum. No start date given, and no press release or source listed. Are you sure about this, @will ? That press release last week was about all the Prime options, not about free shipping for non-Prime members.
Does this start on Nov 5 like last year
2019 problems: I need my stuff and I need it asap. I would never pay that much for expedited shipping. I'm glad there is this free offer.
so when does it start because it is not showing up now at 9pm Pacific Time nov 3 2019
