SEATTLE–Amazon.com has halted free shipping for multiple orders of books, compact disks, videos and digital video disks after a two-week promotion that a company spokesman said was a test run.
The action was taken Wednesday, shortly after barnesandnoble.com began offering a similar discount and after some customers said Amazon raised some prices by factoring the cost of shipping into its listings.
Amazon spokesman Bill Curry said Thursday that most prices were unchanged, adding that the promotion was a test to determine whether customers could calculate their bills easier without a shipping charge.
