FillerItemFinder Helps You Secure Free Amazon Shipping [Amazon]
Posted on February 17, 2010
We’ve all been here: you pick out a few items from Amazon.com, you’re about to finish your order, and Amazon informs you that you’re a mere $3.72 away from free shipping. FillerItemFinder finds a cheap item you actually want to meet the cutoff.
Whenever you spend $25 or more at Amazon.com you become eligible for free basic shipping. Why pay for shipping—usually around $5-10 depending on the size and weight of your order—when you could spend that shipping cost on an actual product and end up with free shipping?
At FillerItemFinder you enter the amount you need to get to $25. FillerItemFinder gives you a massive list of all the items that fit the criteria ordered by rising price.You can filter the results by category and subcategory, narrowing your search to include only "Entertainment" and "Technology" or only the "Books" and "DVD" section of "Entertainment"—the ability to filter by category is what sets this service apart from a filter-less but similar service we reviewed four years ago. Once you've found the perfect filler—Richard Simmons Groovin' with the Silver Foxes, anyone?—add the found item to your cart and you've scored yourself free shipping.
Have a great trick or tool for finding shipping deals online or getting more out of Amazon.com? Let’s hear about it in the comments.

Wishpot Offers One Wish List to Cover Them All [Gift Ideas]
Posted on September 8, 2009
If you’re lucky, your friends and relatives know how to find your Amazon.com wish list. If you’re the one who has to direct them to it, consider giving universal wish list webapp Wishpot a try.
We put Wishpot in that spot because with Amazon’s Universal Wish List bookmarklet, it's hard not to consider the web's super store as a primary place for all your material wants. But Wishpot has a lot to recommend it, too—including Facebook Connect for those not wanting another log-in/password to track and, um, Amazon.com wish list importing. Be warned, though, that the Amazon.com import brings in everything on your public list, including items already bought for you that you might not see at Amazon, but haven't technically been "removed" from the list.
What really sells Wishpot is its similar “Add to Wishpot” bookmarklet and browser add-ons, its SMS functionality, and, most of all, its ability to alert you whenever there’s a price drop on any of your wish list items at a long list of merchants that Wishpot monitors. That way, if you’ve got a someday/maybe item on your list that’s just too pricey right now, but you see it suddenly drop 20 percent, you can choose to fulfill your own wish.
Wishpot is free to use, requires a sign-up or Facebook Connect access to save and share lists.
