Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Amazon shocked its millions of users this week by telling them that delivery would no longer be free for items costing less than £10.
In future, the firm said, free "super saver delivery" will only be offered if you spend more than a tenner or buy books, DVDs, Blu-ray, music, video games and software. While the move seems odd – after all, the company has virtually cornered the online market through its low charges – it is probably not the first change the company will make to its fees.
So check costs before you click on "buy", and look at other options that could prove cheaper than the online giant.
Many traditional High Street retailers, for instance, allow you to order online and pick up at a local store. Or you could avoid the delivery charge by adding low-cost items to your bill. As long as they are from Amazon, you will still qualify for free delivery.
