Amazon filler item finder

I just bought a couple of DVDs from Amazon.co.uk and my order came to £14.94 – 6p short of the free Super Saver Delivery threshold. If you’re ever in a similar situation, try the Amazon Filler Item Finder. It produces a list of cheap items that you can add to your basket in order to qualify for free delivery. You never know – you might even end up with something you wanted!

There is an alternative site here, which isn’t quite as user-friendly but sometimes finds cheaper items. I ended up with 25 Easter animals stickers for 52p, which no doubt I’ll never use but it saved me £2.23 on delivery.

Update: I was able to remove the stickers from my order without being charged for delivery (screenshot), but there’s no guarantee that Amazon will honour the order.

Update 2: I had to cancel one of the DVDs, bringing my order total down to £7.97. After cancelling the item, I was required to choose another delivery option, so it seems that their system will only let you off if you’re close to the £15 threshold.

    I think the http://www.super-saver-topup.co.uk website is the best example of this type of website. It finds those vital basket filler items so you can reach that free super saver delivery threshold on all your Amazon orders.

    Ever placed an order with Amazon that is under £15, and the difference is cheaper than paying the postage charge?

    Enter the short fall to return a list of products at the relevant price that are in stock and eligible for super saver delivery.

    Quick, easy and never pay for the cost of delivery again.

    I like to use Jungle-Search.com to find fillers. It is similar, but seems to find lower priced items and is a bit quicker to use.
