Amazon.com are offering a $5 discount on a purchase of $25 or more on items shipped by them when you connect with them on Facebook. This does state US addresses only but a friend used it and I checked and with my Canadian address, the discount was still applied, you will just have to pay international shipping. If you were ordering something from amazon.com who do have a much better selection, the discount helps with the shipping costs by bringing down the item cost.
Expires 11:59 PM PST on Sunday, December 9, 2012. Excludes Kindle devices, digital downloads and gift card purchases.One offer per person and Amazon account.
This promotion only applies if you are located and your billing address is in the US. It doesn’t work with a Canadian billing address, I tried.
As I said, I made an order and it worked, as did a friend – both with existing Canadian addresses
Curious – was going to order something on Amazon.com and when I went to check out, they had charged import duty and shipping even though it qualified for ‘free’ shipping. My first and last time on that web site. What is the appeal???? BTW the cost of the merchandise was only $175.00 – we’re not talking thousands here. If I cross-border shop, I don’t have to pay duty on that amount…..
Free shipping is only for US residents, and unfortunately laws state duty/taxes is paid on $20 or more for cross border shipping, its not the same as crossing the border
Amazon.ca offer free shipping in Canada but their selection stinks. Many SCers collect amazon gift cards from surveys and swagbucks etc and they can be used towards shipping too so its useful for them as the selection on the .com site is much much better
Thanks Pixels 🙂 Did go to the Canadian site and they didn’t carry what I was after. Sadness.
I did it and it didn’t work for me even though I was shipping to a US address (but my billing is Canadian). 🙁
