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.

Oh that makes sense, fair enough. I didnt know amazon did this but I stopped using them a while ago so haven't kept up.

I think its becoming more and more common knowledge that amazon isn't cheap anymore.
