October 13, 2009: Amazon.co.uk has removed its Free Super Saver Delivery threshold - the amount customers need to spend with Amazon to qualify for free shipping - until the end of the year. That means that each and every product sold by Amazon this Christmas automatically qualifies for free shipping*. Previously, Amazon customers had to spend £5 for their order to qualify for Free Super Saver Delivery.

"Christmas is coming and so it's the perfect time to offer customers free shipping on every item available from Amazon.co.uk," said Brian McBride, Managing Director of Amazon.co.uk Ltd. "Whether it's jewellery or juicers, toys or toasters, Christmas trees or DVDs - every product, no matter how big or small, can be delivered for free this festive season."

Free Super Saver Delivery will be available on all products until 1st January 2010.

As well as Free Super Saver Delivery, Amazon offers customers a choice of delivery options, including the Prime membership programme, offering unlimited free One-Day delivery for an annual fee of £47.97.
