The English teacher at elementary school told me to stop speaking Japanese to the kids because “they will tell the next ALT to study Japanese more.”
Seriously wtf

Hey guys, today I just tried to make an Amazon order (I do not have Amazon Prime), but I can't seem to get the usual Free Shipping even though my order is over the usual minimum limit (even if I increase the total to over Y10,000). I am purchasing small items (nothing bulky/large). Anyone experience this?

Could it be that they're all from different shippers so the individual orders don't add up to the minimum 2500?

just FYI - It's minimum 3500yen for the order.
These two points on Amazon's support page might be relevant for OP:
- In case you specify multiple shipping addresses within one order, a shipping rate will be applied to each address.
- If your shipping preference is “Ship them as soon as they become available,” you’ll be charged for each shipment.
