NEW YORK — Sam’s Club is offering free shipping for premium members and simplifying its membership tiers.
As of Wednesday, the Walmart-owned warehouse club will give free shipping on online orders for Plus members on 95 percent of the items it sells. Most shipping costs previously were based on size and weight, the shipping method and the delivery address.
Sam’s Club is also converting its three membership plans into two. Sam’s Plus will still carry a $100 annual fee, while the Business and Savings plans will convert to Sam’s Club memberships with an annual fee of $45.
