Ah, I don't go to EDMW. Apologies on this. Anyway, I recently bought stuff on Black Friday, but don't have issues with the free shipping. So I thought it was something new.

Tried to checkout some items, the Free Amazon Global Shipping option does not appear. Perhaps need some time for system to update?

Not many good deals from prime now usa. But I like the reduced $60 min for free shipping (with prime membership) although all items will be charged in sgd equivalent.

and it's 7-9 days delivery... which is much faster than FSSG

End of FSSG...

American e-commerce giant Amazon launched its Prime membership programme for Singapore on Wednesday (Dec 6), ending a four-year period of free shipping to the Republic.

Under the Free AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping option, shoppers in Singapore and Mexico were previously eligible for free international shipping with a minimum order of US$125 for qualifying merchandise.

But with the launch of Amazon Prime, "unlimited free international shipping will now be exclusively a Prime member benefit moving forward", Amazon told The Straits Times.

No free shipping from Amazon U.S. web site.

Join Singapore Prime and get free shipping on items from Amazon U.S. only if they are on Prime Now and more than S$60.

Pricing is local rather than Amazon US.

Prime Video is also nowhere near Netflix standard and much less programmes even compared to Amazon US Prime Video.

I will probably cancel Prime membership when the trial period ends.

I am not sure if you factored in GST since it is over 400 SGD and taxable.
