Amazon gives non-Prime members free shipping at $35 or more of eligible items. Instead of simply letting users get the product with free shipping, they've added a discount that prices it exactly one cent below the $35 limit, while only subsidizing the price with $3.38, which is about half of what they'll then charge you for shipping.

Why would you order from amazon instead of directly from ifixit?

[–] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The same thing is $50 there with shipping.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah but then ifixit gets the money instead, and amazon gets nothing. I want to pay ifixit for their stuff, not amazon. Amazon didnt do anything to deserve money from that purchase.

There are a lot of vendors who only sell through amazon though. That seems more like they are explicitly saying they prefer the amazon shop but I could be interpreting that wrong.

Most likely because they don't wanna deal with shipping stuff

As another user replied to you earlier, yeah, it's substantially more expensive after shipping. Nearly 50% more, in fact, but in this specific instance I wasn't actually planning on buying this specific bit set, the price and subsequent notice of the discount just caught my eye when it was in Amazon's list of product recommendations.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Oh that makes sense, fair enough. I didnt know amazon did this but I stopped using them a while ago so haven't kept up.

I think its becoming more and more common knowledge that amazon isn't cheap anymore.

[–] Spiderwort@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Because you already have an account set up with amazon.

Because you've used amazon before and feel comfortable with them.

I mean those are legitimate answers, but people around these parts don't take kindly to primers

[–] Spiderwort@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

They gave me free prime. I was a god for 30 days. But ya.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Its just not a business I would recommend giving your money too, but its your choice.
