Wow. Really Amazon?
« on: March 31 2011, 02:48:34 PM »
Talk about inefficient shipping.

I ordered 2packs of 100pc 4" cable ties for $1.64 ea, free shipping with Prime.

I get a ship notification that they shipped 1 pc, UPS ground. Yep, a $1.64 item, shipped ground, and another one to be shipped ground at a later date - for free.

I saw that and was like "WTF!", then I noticed that's w/o free shipping. There's another seller for what I paid that includes shipping. :D

I've always insisted that the markup in almost everything you buy is more than you'd guess. I've been payed hundreds just to move recycled paper (i.e. trash) up the road a little ways to a paper mill and found myself wondering how much they're charging for paper towels lately...
