Amazon free-shipping yields years away Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos has been touting his company’s free-shipping offer for months, but it will be years before the Internet retailer sees the full benefits of the promotion, he told shareholders Wednesday.

Amazon.com, which ships select orders totaling $25 or more for free, plans to spend about $100 million on the promotion this year. But many customers don’t know about the offer, Bezos said, meaning that it could be five years or so before Amazon.com garners the new customers and higher sales the promotion is designed to encourage. amazoncouponcodefreeshippingnow.com amazon coupon code free shipping

Czechs renew talks to help steel maker The Czech government agreed to make a second attempt to negotiate permission from the European Commission to provide 2 billion koruna ($75 million) in public support to a privately owned steel maker, to save jobs in the northeastern Czech Republic.

The ministers of foreign affairs and trade will resume talks with the commission on help to Trinecke Zelezarny AS. The company is based in Trinec, a region where unemployment is almost twice the national 10 percent.

The Czechs wants EU permission to include Trinecke in the government’s 14 billion-koruna plan to reorganize the steel industry, already approved by the Commission. The country closed its talks on individual policy in December and must adhere to EU competition rules as it prepares to join the bloc in May 2004.
