So these "Add-on items" that are all over Amazon require a minimum order of £10 for them to be dispatched.
Find an item that is out of stock and over £10, such as the one linked below, add it to your basket and check out with your desired add on item.

It probably doesn't even need to be an out of stock item, that's just how I've always done it.
Once you've completed check out, cancel the extra item. Your add on item will still be dispatched alone.
You won't be charged for the extra item as Amazon only charge on dispatch.
Enjoy :-)
EDIT: Not quite sure how this works for non prime members. May be charged for delivery. Type Amazon Family into Google for a 3 month free trial. (well worth it)

Yeah because we all love wasting money, why else would we be on HUKD.
Obviously you cancel that item immediately after placing the order, leaving only the add-on item in the order and thus it will ship free.
That's really helpful. Thanks for your input. I'd never consider using the system as the system was designed.
See #10.
And I'd advise against using out of stock items in case they come in stock.
Instead use pre-order items.
Doesn't matter even if they are in stock when you order really, as you cancel it straight away.
Bingo.
Tried doing as the OP suggested, and it charges me for 1st Class Delivery. The item I want is £3.49. I'm pretty sure I've read on here recently elsewhere that this workaround hasn't been working for a while now.
Waste of time really.
I used it an hour ago
That's odd. Works for me.
You do have some rebuttal even if it does for whatever reason come back in stock, but a pre-order is 100% risk-free and are easy to find.
Call the feds Ma Parker, someone's making a small saving from a (reportedly quite ruthless) multinational multi-billion dollar company.
Obvious to you maybe.
Keep up with the times!!
