Free Amazon Prime For Students

Amazon is offering their Amazon Prime Shipping service free to students for one year. For those of you unaware of what Amazon Prime is, it allows Unlimited FREE Two-Day shipping on items purchased from Amazon. There is no minimum order size. You can also upgrade to overnight shipping for $3.99 / item. This usually costs $79 a year and you can cancel it at any time if you are unsatisfied.

A few things to note, you must have an email address ending in “.edu” to qualify. Those email address are usually only given out to students, so one is required for this offer. Also, not all items qualify for the free 2 day shipping. I currently have the Amazon Prime service and in my experience usually the item needs to be sold my Amazon for it to qulify. Each item will tell you whether or not it is eligible for the Amazon Prime service. Note in the screenshot below:

This is a pretty good deal if you order a lot from amazon as it will increase your shipping speed, since in most cases the current free shipping can take up to 5 days to get to you. If you are interested in signing up, check out the details at the Amazon Prime For Students page.
