I've noticed the standard shipping option is not available for anything I order via Amazon to NZ. Only Expedited and Priority is available.
Has been like this for 2 weeks. Anyone else experience the same?

That's annoying. I had one order arrive last week that was delivered by two different companies under standard cheap shipping. It'd cost twice as much now. Hopefully it's a glitch they work out.
I wonder if they finally got sick of everybody hating i-parcel and couldn't find another sufficiently cheap courier to use so they just canned the whole standard shipping programme...
Though surely it's going to turn a significant amount of NZers off buying from Amazon for a lot of things? I know they subsidise shipping to start with, but Amazon has always been very growth-focused rather than profit-driven. Maybe it's foreshadowing their imminent entry into the NZ market and so they don't need competitive shipping in the short-term? ;)
I have noticed the price of shipping has gone up quite significantly.
Media doesn't appear to be excluded, I mainly purchase my 4K UHD Bluray's from Amazon and no standard shipping for media only either.

Yep, I went to order two packs of socks off Amazon earlier this week, and it was going to be $65 shipping. For 12 socks. Needless to say I didn't get them.
On that note, anyone know a good place to get socks here in NZ? I usually buy Hanes ankle socks (not low cut). I miss them, they are cushiony and warm without being too hot.

I really should look into youshop at some point, I also have family in the states that could have shipped it, but it's just socks. I only buy them like once a year or so when the old ones wear out, but I do love brand new socks.

Get some Thorlo socks, they've very comfortable and very hard wearing, they last years. Cotton isn't a good material for socks, it holds moisture and wears quickly.
I just ordered something last night and had all 3 shipping options.

Miracle Casters! Sold by 3rd party, but fulfilled by Amazon.
Had 3 shipping options: Standard International (no tracking), AmazonGlobal Expedited, and AmazonGlobal Priority.
I have a few random things in my cart, I don't get the economy option.
I wonder if it simply depends what Amazon distribution centre the goods are shipped from?
