Amazon.com: New Zealand Free Shipping

1. How do I receive the Free Shipping promotion on my order?

International Free Shipping to New Zealand is available on eligible products with total order value of USD 49 or more. Not all items are eligible for Free Shipping. Look for “FREE Shipping to New Zealand” or “Your order qualifies for FREE Shipping” throughout your shopping journey. Once you have a cart with eligible items and meet or exceed the promotion threshold, you will see the Free Shipping option at checkout. Once you have a cart with eligible items and exceed the promotion threshold, you will see the Free Shipping option at checkout.

2. Why didn't my order qualify for the Free Shipping promotion?

There are several reasons why your order may not qualify. Free Shipping is available if your shipping address is in New Zealand, your items are eligible, and your total order value is USD 49 or more. If your cart contains non-eligible items, you might be charged shipping fees for these items.

3. Do I need to meet the free shipping threshold of USD 49 by purchasing one eligible item?

No, you can meet the threshold either by buying several eligible items with a total value that meets or exceeds the free shipping threshold – or you can purchase one eligible product that costs USD 49 or more.

4. Why does the Free Shipping threshold change when I shop in the New Zealand Dollar?

The Free Shipping threshold is USD 49. The threshold in local currency is based on the conversion rate to the United States Dollar and may vary. The current currency conversion rates are displayed in the currency picker and at checkout.

5. How fast will my order be delivered if I choose Free Shipping at checkout?

Estimated delivery time will be provided at checkout and varies depending on item availability & delivery address.

6. Am I still required to pay for import fees on my order?

There are no changes to the Amazon.com import fee deposit policy. To review the policy go here.

7. Are import fees or VAT included for calculating the minimum threshold for the Free Shipping promotion?

Import Fees and VAT are not included in the Free Shipping eligibility calculation. The Free Shipping threshold must be met based on the price and quantity of the eligible items.

This is pretty great for us. I was looking at a GPU a few days ago, had it in my cart to compare prices on Amazon US Vs Amazon AU & local shops. All of a sudden today the NZ$29 shipping fee has been wiped off.

As an aside, is it a bad idea to get a GPU from Amazon US instead of locally (warranty concerns?).

Amazon.com.au has free shipping on selected items when you spend NZ $49 or more.

Most of the stuff I order comes from the US anyway so this is another option if you are looking.

And blurays don't qualify. Bugger.

The one item (other than Blu-rays) I previously had my eye on no longer ships to NZ. It doesn't really matter since I closed my Amazon account recently due to appalling customer service.

In the past, a simple e-mail would get things sorted and a replacement sent via express post. Now, it's a live chat and utter incompetence, even from their so-called "Executive Customer Relations team". Thinking about the number the times I've had to ask Amazon to put things right due to their shipping used, returned or damaged goods, I can't say I regret my decision. Amazon never was that good, and the only thing that made them stand out was how they resolved issues.

The Amazon.com.au offer only appears to apply on goods shipping out of AU. I tried to add an item that was US based and the shipping changed dramatically.

It depends, I've had some things that are obviously being shipped from US get included and others seem not to.

All this particular offer has reminded me is how bad the USD-NZD exchange rate is. I saw a lens I want for $900 US, but by time got to checkput it was NZ$1500, compared to NZ$1250 in Amazon AU..

I presume all the ones illustrated above are from AM AU anyway. House of the Dragon was for me.

Can also get free postage from AM UK.

Maybe it was just the ones I was interested in, or I think ones that are only directly ordered from AM US, not ones from AM AU but are posted from the US.
