Best Buy had some great prices on DVDs on Friday, but I didn't want to deal with the lines or the general insanity there. They had the same prices on their website, so by paying a few dollars shipping I was able to avoid the usual day after Thanksgiving two hour wait in line.

Amazon had the same deal as my local Fry's without tax and shipping. Guess where I went...

If reasonable, I view shipping as a worthy convenience charge, especially at this time of year. However, I often question why a lot of catalogs use a graduated scale for shipping, based on how much you spend instead of weight and size of packages.
