Oh you are paying the shipping fee. It’s only factored into the item price. That’s why sometime you can’t simply buy one item but at least two or five. They won’t send you just one.

0·3 months agoYou believe it or not I keep learning new tricks and exploring new ways to solve old problems. If you factor in (no pun intended) mods like space exploration or Factorio 2.0 then it becomes more true.
I was able to “finish” Factorio 1.0 several times but never reached end game in both space exploration and Factorio 2.0 and still enjoy to play it several months straight every so often. I still have to visit Vulcanus and Fulgora because I was playing with friends and they “sent” me on Gleba, which it felt like playing Factorio for the first time; loved it!
Man! now I want to play it again hahahahah

Sorry, I was not clear. I have prime and almost everything has free shipping no matter how many items you buy.
What I mean is that, for smaller/cheapier items, they won’t sell you just one, because you will immediately see you ARE paying the shipment. So they sell you “sets” of something and factor the shipping cost in, so that if you calculate how much is for each item, the shipment fee is spread out and become acceptable for you.
Many websites offer you free shipping above some order value, but you wouldn’t shop on those sites so often and you wouldn’t consider to buy something small because you are paying and shown the shipping fee. Amazon doesn’t want you to wait too much between orders and doesn’t want you to go somewhere else for smaller items but also doesn’t want to pay for your shipment.
So in the end, we are paying for the shipment and also locking ourselves behind a monopoly just because it is convenient (at least I am, and I hate it)
