Amazon Is Shifting Prime Pantry Service to Subscription Model

Bloomberg ---------- Amazon.com Inc. is shifting its Prime Pantry service, which focuses on non-perishable household goods like breakfast cereal, laundry detergent and shampoo, to a $5 per month membership model. Amazon will make the change gradually, encouraging Prime Pantry shoppers to commit to a monthly service charge that gives them free shipping on orders of at least $40, a company spokeswoman said. The current model is for Prime subscribers only and charges $6 per box, encouraging shoppers to squeeze in as much detergent, paper towels and canned food as possible. In the future, those who don’t opt for the new monthly flat rate will pay $8 per box. To learn more click on the picture below to read the article.
