Prime Now delivery fee hike in Seattle

Why Amazon started charging $4.99 for 2 hour prime now delivery? It was free until a day or two ago in Seattle. What just happened? 1 hour delivery fee has been bumped up from 4.99 to 9.99 now.

That's only if you don't meet the 35 dollar min. Pretty sure it's been like that for a while. They might've been running a promo during holidays waiving the min or something. I just checked on my app and free delivery option is still there.

Probably that was for holidays only. I see you get free delivery on $35+ orders. But I don’t see free delivery option for lower amount in my zip code.

Someone literally drives to your place and brings your stuff to your door. If there was a no min free delivery option it was never going to be permanent. Just add a bottle of wine and you're good. The prices there are equivalent to the grocery store.

There are ways to make this business profitable without increasing fees. Problem is that tech roadmaps are full of useless shit due to poor prioritization done by business teams. Most of F3 leaders shit in their pants when there's need to change something big in the tech part as they don't want to shake things too much. The easiest solution is increasing fees without giving a shit of Customer experience. We are shrinking revenues and customer base just to make profit. This is the opposite of the strategy that made Amazon big.
