Amazon gives non-Prime members free shipping at $35 or more of eligible items. Instead of simply letting users get the product with free shipping, they’ve added a discount that prices it exactly one cent below the $35 limit, while only subsidizing the price with $3.38, which is about half of what they’ll then charge you for shipping.
im not judging you for being incapable of using websites that dont start with amazon, and end in .com, you can do whatever you want, im just pointing out that you have a very silly opinion of how online retailing works.
yeah but then i miss interactions like this one.
