Amazon now requires customers in some areas to spend at least $35 to qualify for free shipping — up from $25 ![](https://i.insider.com/64c7dc28cf0778001967aea5?width=1300&format=jpeg&auto=webp) It's not a glitch: Amazon is requiring some non-Prime customers to spend more in order to qualify for free shipping. The company is testing out a $35 minimum, up from $25, for free shipping in some regions, Amazon spokesperson Kristina Pressentin confirmed to Insider in a statement. "We continually evaluate our offerings and make adjustments based on those assessments," she said. "We're currently testing a $35 minimum for non-Prime customers to qualify for free shipping. Prime members continue to enjoy free delivery on over 300 million items, with tens of millions of items available for free Same or One-Day Delivery." The change marks an apparent push to get users to pay for Amazon Prime ahead of the holiday shopping season, as well as Amazon's second Prime Day of the year, which is slated for October. Amazon Prime subscribers, who pay $14.99 on a monthly basis or $139 for the year, don't have a minimum spend requirement to receive free two-day shipping.
