Amazon.ca continues to improve as the company has launched Amazon Student, a program aimed at getting college and university students to shop more online.
Amazon Student offers six months of unlimited free two-day shipping with Amazon Prime—after that, the cost is just $39 annually, which is half price compared to the regular membership fee of $79.
“We want students to feel empowered by offering a program that makes going off to university and preparing for the upcoming semester easy and affordable — where students can get fast, free shipping and have everything they need delivered directly to their doorstep,” said Alexandre Gagnon, country manager for Amazon.ca. “Amazon Student saves time and money and makes it convenient for university students to find deals on room essentials and campus must-haves like electronics, small kitchen appliances and more. Plus, students can find a wide variety of textbooks – all at Amazon.ca.”
The program also offers exclusive offers on items geared at students (similar to the relatively new Amazon Family program) and the goal is to target students who don’t have vehicles to shop off campus and wait items delivered to their doorstep.
Here are the program conditions from the fine print—you’ll need to…
The program is only available up to four years, the standard time to complete a university degree (unless your name is Van Wilder).
The company also says students can save up to 90% off used textbooks and 35% off new textbooks in their Amazon Textsbooks store.
