Our Reading
The update arrives with confidence.
Amazon’s new delivery fees are here, because what’s a premium service without a few extra charges? Prime members get to enjoy “fast” delivery for just under $10 an hour, while non-Prime members get to pay nearly twice as much. Because who doesn’t love a good price hike? Amazon’s just rebranding what we used to call “expedited shipping” and charging extra for it.
Original observation: Amazon just turned its Prime membership into a discount on delivery fees.
