...when did this start!?

Just did a search for GT85 and it appears this is now an 'Add-on' item and will only be despatched when you spend £20 on products despatched by Amazon. This seems a very odd decision - loads of my (and I would imagine many others) are done quickly on my phone and I don't want to be thinking about making a basket of items up.

If they pay no tax, I think they can suck up a bit of carriage!

The Add-on programme allows Amazon to offer thousands of low-priced items that would be cost-prohibitive to dispatch on their own. These items are dispatched with qualifying orders of £20 or more, and are eligible for free delivery. Details

= We can't afford to send things out at a loss anymore as we now realise running a business that isn't profitable is harder than it originally seemed.

Makes sense really. I don't know how CRC do it - sending loads of individual parcels of items costing less than the postage price!
