True many of the big box stores already did the major damage.

that and the change of hands of a lot of real estate upward to the small

then once they own it they either leave those properties empty or ask
rents that are unsustainable and even take a portion of net profits
from the small retailers as part of the rent or lease


There's no free shipping. Look at the prime price, it's much higher
sometimes double the price of other vendors through Amazon.
So prime is often higher priced to cover shipping.
If you are not a prime customer and reach the free shipping, you are
paying for it, it's built into the cost.


no
there is free shipping on amazon without prime

you spend over some amount and then the free shipping kicks in
not for all products as not all sellers offer it because it comes out
of the pocket of the seller

have you sold a lot on amazon

Now Amazon is considering eliminating them. They have Jets, Trucks..
etc.

trying to but remains to be seen
