Look at “Sold by” and “Ships from”

Amazon is both a retailer and a marketplace. The business selling an item and the business sending it may differ. An item fulfilled by Amazon can have a third-party seller; do not treat “ships from Amazon” as proof that Amazon is the seller.

When comparing two offers, match the model, size, colour, condition and included accessories. A used item or a different variant should not win a comparison against a new exact match merely because its headline price is lower.

Count the delivered price

For illustration, a $32 non-Prime basket is below the published $35 threshold. Its delivery charge is not automatically zero: the calculator leaves it unknown. A qualifying $35 basket can have free standard delivery. If you already have Prime and the items qualify, a small basket can qualify too.

Prime’s subscription price is separate from the shipping line. If you would subscribe just for one order, include that subscription cost in your decision. Same-Day and grocery services have their own terms; select the actual delivery option at checkout.

How we use Amazon in comparisons

Amazon is another place to check an exact product, not an automatic cheapest-price recommendation. Our catalogue prices are dated observations. The selected Amazon links above open specific product listings; confirm the current offer and delivery terms on Amazon.
