If there's one thing Brazilians love, it's a free shipping. And when this little beauty appears in the Amazon app, even better. The e-commerce giant continues to invest heavily to win over more users, and one of its most effective tactics has been to offer free shipping on selected items in the Amazon Shopping app.

If you still don't understand how this benefit works, whether it's for any product, whether you need to be Prime or not, and how to take advantage of it without any mistakes, stay with me and I'll explain everything - no need to mess around.

How does free shipping work in the Amazon app?

Amazon has several free shipping strategies, but one of the most attractive is currently running directly in the Amazon Shopping app. In other words, you need to have the app installed on your phone and make the purchase there - no browser access.

Free shipping applies to selected itemsThis is important to note. Not everything is delivered free of charge, but a wide variety of products from categories such as:

  • Fashion
  • Beauty
  • Electronics
  • Home and kitchen
  • Stationery
  • Toys

These items appear with the free shipping label or the phrase: "FREE shipping available for qualified orders in the app". And the discount on the delivery price is already applied automatically at checkout.

Do you need to be a Prime customer?

In most cases, no Amazon Prime subscription required. The advantage is being used to encourage new users and increase use of the mobile app, which is where the company concentrates its best offers.

However, who is Prime also benefits - including even faster deliveries. What happens is that the app has exclusive conditions that only appear there, so even Prime customers can take advantage of this differentiated free shipping on certain products, in addition to the well-known advantages of the subscription.

What are the criteria for free shipping?

To avoid confusion, here are the main points you need to be aware of:

1# The purchase must be done on the official Amazon Shopping app

2# The product must be marked with the free shipping option (check this before completing the order)

3# Some items require minimum purchase price or combined purchase with another product from the same store

4# The delivery address must be in a region served by this promotion - usually capitals and metropolitan regions

5# There may be weight or size restrictions for free shipping, especially for large products

In other words: it's not just any product, but the app itself clearly indicates which items are included in the advantage.

What types of products are most often offered free shipping?

The most common are those with a lower average ticket, but with a high turnover. For example:

  • T-shirts, pants and pajamas sold and delivered by Amazon itself
  • Makeup and skincare items in stock in Brazil
  • Cell phone accessories and cases
  • Light hand tools
  • Books and planners
  • Office products
  • Kitchen items (such as pots, pans, saucepans)

In addition, many partner sellers are taking part in the campaign, which greatly expands the range of options. So it's always worth browsing the app and looking at the available filters to highlight only the items with free shipping.

How do I know if the product has free shipping?

Simple: the Amazon app itself displays a warning at the top or next to the purchase button. It can appear as:

  • "FREE shipping for in-app orders"
  • "FREE delivery for you"
  • "FREE shipping available"

If you have any doubts, go to the final stage of the cart and see if the shipping has been reset. If it doesn't appear as free at this stage, the item is not included in the promotion.

Another good tip is to use the search filter: type in what you want and then click on "Free shipping" in the filters - this already eliminates the products that don't participate.

Is it worth installing the app just for that?

To put it bluntly: worth a lot. In addition to free shipping, the Amazon Shopping app usually has:

  • Exclusive mobile-only offers
  • Discount coupons for first purchases
  • Price drop alerts on favorite products
  • Faster and more fluid browsing than the browser
  • Early access to promotions and campaigns

In other words, even if you don't shop that often, having the app installed on your phone gives you a better chance of picking up a good offer with free shipping or other benefits.

And is the delivery fast?

Yes. In many cases, delivery is made in up to 2 working daysmainly in regions with Amazon distribution centers (such as SP, RJ, MG, PR and DF).

In some cities, there is even the option of same-day or next-day delivery, depending on the time of purchase. This makes the advantage of free shipping even more interesting, because as well as not paying for delivery, you don't have to wait long.

How to make the most of free shipping?

Here are some clever tips:

1# Use the app oftenThe more you browse, the more Amazon's algorithm understands what interests you and shows you offers in line with your profile.

2# Turn on notificationsThe app notifies you when there are products you're interested in with free shipping or when there's a flash sale.

3# Add to favorites: save the items you want - many come with the free shipping promotion for a limited time.

4# Combine productsIn many cases, if you combine two or three products from the same seller, you can get free shipping on the package.

5# Check the seller's reputationEven if shipping is free, it's good to make sure the product arrives properly.

Will it be worth it in 2025?

Yes, very much so. In the midst of so many platforms trying to charge for everything, Amazon stands out by continuing to offer real advantages and no gimmicks, such as free shipping directly in the app.

It's a clever way of building customer loyalty and, at the same time, turning over stocks of light and popular products. For the consumer, it's a chance to save on everyday purchases - without having to spend horrors or sign anything.
