Based on how my corporate network works, my computer looks to many
web sites like I am located in NYC, which I am not.

Leaving it as the default zip of 10001 (NYC), I can get Free Prime
Same Day *delivery*, total cost $12.98.

If I use the shipping drop down to change it to my actual zip, the
item is not eligible for Prime. It's $9.99 + $2.99 shipping, total
cost $12.98.

But wait...there's a link that says "Avaiable with free Prime
Shipping from other sellers on Amazon". If I use that link, it is
eligible for Prime and I can get Free 2 Day shipping, total cost
$12.98.

So, obviously the Prime shipping isn't really free and your location
matters and the seller matters. It's obvious that Amazon wants you to
join Prime because they point you to Prime-eligible sellers for the
same item, even though the total cost is going to be the same. The
only difference might be the 2-day shipping via Prime vs. standard
shipping when you actually "pay" for shipping separately.

You are always whining about Amazon.
Get your stuff somewhere else and STFU.
