[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 5408624, member: 63706"] Where does the money come from for Amazon to pay us enough so that we can make a healthy profit if you don't pay for shipping? And, yes, this applies to other online retailers, but that only emphasizes the point. What did you hear? That we make a healthy profit per package from amazon, or that we don't? Getting stuff cheaper due to volume, and padding the price, and then, finally, the prime membership fee, are all how Amazon can get away with "not charging" for shipping. They still have to be competitive on overall price with brick and mortar stores, which means they have to get their shipping as cheap as possible. [/QUOTE]
