Amazon is introducing modifications to its Prime program with the aim of increasing the number of items eligible for free delivery to its subscribers. Tom Cook, an Amazon representative, explained that the new scheme will permit retailers to dispatch additional items through Prime, bypassing the previous prohibitive costs of nationwide shipping for certain products. This is made feasible because of services such as contact packaging, which supplies bulk shipping tape and packing machines. It lets companies such as Amazon provide free shipping while maintaining profitability. The proposed limitations on free Prime shipping to specified areas may encourage businesses to offer free shipping on items that may have previously incurred shipping charges.
