Adam Conover did a great video about “Free shipping” is a scam and actually ends up costing you more overall. Ultimately the companies are using the same logistics companies you could with no special discounts, and in order to make a profit pocket the excess. Which isn’t as bad as the alternative what is happened with insurance where the cost of everything ballooned to obscene extents even if you had a plan, then once they were too big to fail insurance companies just stopped paying out leaving you in a smoldering crater of the full hyperinflated price.
