It struck me - we don’t got to the mall, any more, the mall comes to us. Please understand, I am NOT a defender of the 0 economy, just an observation.

People buying stuff online is not a function of the Zero economy. People should shop wherever and however they want. Getting rid of Zero and the 'Rats won't cause people to return to brick and mortar stores en masse, although it would help those stores simply as a function of igniting a boom.

Although, do shop around before buying on Amazon Prime. You may discover that that shipping charge you thought was covered by your Prime subscription is actually built into the price.

Has to be. I don't know of any free shipping service.

I sell a lot on ebay. They're always pushing me to offer "free shipping." I sometimes do, but I build shipping into the item's price. The bad thing for the buyer is that they can't get a combined shipping discount when they purchase multiple items, so they may actually pay more.
