Amazon Filler Items mean rest and small buck items to fill your shopping cart and get the advantage of free shipping from Amazon.com. The table below is an easy tool to find those eligible items classified by categories.

We've known that the main idea of Amazon free shipping policy is eligible items orders over $25 will be shipped free, every time we go to buy something on Amazon, there will be a little box pops up telling us that we are only 1,2,3… bucks away from free shipping. Then we spend the next hours to find something we want and cost at the rest bucks. [ For the items which is eligible for Amazon Prime, we can get FREE shipping no minimum orders offering by subscription to Amazon Prime Member($79 annual Fee). Special offering for limited time, we can subscribe to Amazon Prime FREE one month here. ]To find Amazon filler items may take plenty of times so there are many questions about this.

"How can we search the limiting results to show only eligible free shipping items at Amazon.com?"

"Where can we find a list of items or a search for items that are close but over the amount we need to get free shipping on amazon.com?"

"How do I search for items ONLY sold by Amazon.com to apply for the free shipping?"

The answer is no perfect method now, but here are the suggestions from experienced eShopper to try.

1. When we put Amazon words along with what we are searching for in the search box as below.

Amazon products | Soldbyamazon | Amazon.com | Amazon

Some time these words don’t work properly.

Lifehacker.com suggested that we can put the term: “&emi=ATVPDKIKX0DER” to the end of URLs at the address bar of the browser (Sometime it's called "Link") to search the results by listing just the Amazon products (these would qualify for free shipping with Amazon Prime membership)

For Example:
When we search for electronic products we will get this link at the address bar of the browser:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_e/103-3154273-2012654?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=&x=9&y=24

If we would like to search just the Amazon products, add the term “&emi=ATVPDKIKX0DER” at the end of the url like this:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_e/103-3154273-2012654?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=&x=9&y=24&emi=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Then we will get the Amazon Page show only amazon items.

2. Another technique is to use seller filter on the left column.

Put the word what you want to look for in the search box. It doesn't have to be very specific because you can narrow down your search results later on.

Next, select which category your item might be in (on the left side of the search box or screen) from the list of categories available, such as video games or books. Then click go.

At that point, the search column on the left will have a "Seller" category. If you see "Amazon.com" as one of the sellers, which is usually the first on the list, click on that. If it's not there, click "See more..."

Find "Amazon.com" and click on it. (If it's not there, that means Amazon.com doesn't sell the item.)

Now all the items that are displayed are sold by Amazon.com and usually they will offer it with the free shipping if you buy over $25 worth of stuff.

All you have to do now is narrow down your search with the rest of the categories on the left.

To find the cheapest items available, choose "Price Low to High" in the drop-down menu on the right hand side of the screen.

When we use this technique we should look carefully for the reason that the results will be sorted from the lowest price of the products , which are not amazon price (but from amazon market place) and the other point is everything sold by Amazon is not eligible for Free Super Saver Shipping however it’s certainly that this way helps to narrow it down by seller.

3. There are external websites which filter the filler items by sorted price such as filleritems.com, bigscreenprices.com, isearchbetter.com, etc. The sites are so good for searching the thing to fill our rest bucks items, but the price shown probably is not Amazon price, but the lowest price of Amazon Market seller. However we could use it as a guide.

Sunshine said...: Hi Chris,

Thank you for visiting and recommendation of helpful website. It's awesome. But like many other sites as filleritems.com, bigscreenprices.com, isearchbetter.com, etc that the price shown probably is not Amazon price, but the lowest price of Amazon Market seller. It can't help, because of Amazon Data Base.; June 21, 2008 4:15 AM
