One thing Amazon is better at (at least here in Germany) is free shipping. But seeing how that is a least partially responsible for creating a cutthroat delivery market, where companies contract out delivery work to barely self-employed drivers for barely any money, paying for shipping doesn't seem like a bad idea (even though I know the drivers won't really see any of that money in the end)
I find this to be rather healthy sacrifice attitude. You pay a few cents more, but the world gets that one micron more normal than it was a second ago. Works for me.
