Amazon Reduces Free Shipping Minimums
Amazon has gone back to $35 to qualify for free shipping: Amazon Free Shipping

As a full timer I've used Amazon extensively, shipping to whichever Park I'm at. I'm not a Prime member so I always wait till I meet their threshold for free shipping. In fact, I have a package to pick up today.
But recently I've started experimenting with buying online thru Walmart and having the item(s) shipped free to the store that is nearest to me. This is a great option if you're not too far from one. And there is no minimum dollar level to get the free shipping. You also can log in and see ETA and they will send email when it's ready for pickup. My SWAG is that it may be a little bit quicker then Amazon's free shipping.
Interestingly, the box for the last item I got had a UPS sticker on it. Looked like UPS delivered it to the Walmart store.
