Have seen a couple squirrely things from them as they put prime up front
and you might think free shipping without it but get charged at
checkout. Also you think you are getting direct from them but you are
getting from a supplier. Suppliers can be fine but if item is defective
and you have to ship back they may be more difficult to work with. Even
software which you download for no charge can put you back with the
supplier. I had a problem like this a few years ago with MS Office from
Amazon ending with MS working with my computer to fix.

You have to read the offering as there are many variations.
Sold by third party but shipped by Amazon
Sold by Amazon but shipped by third party
Prime shipping, free 2 days
Not Prime, but free shipping.
No Prime, shipping added

I bought a phone at Staples for $30. Used half gallon of gas to go get
it. Could have had it delivered under Prime in two days for $20.

I never bought anything that said Prime and got charged for shipping.

Nothing is ever truly free
Carefully read the offering.
