No Free Lunch

I keep thinking that people will stop complaining about Amazon’s “free” shipping. They haven’t. People still want a free lunch.

    No, they just don’t want to be lied to or have their things purposefully held for no other reason than to justify the shipping charges.

    Free shipping is “5-9 business days” (almost 2 weeks) and standard shipping is “5 business days” (one week). Complaining that you have to pay for service that is twice as fast is ludicrous. It is not as if these terms of shipping are hidden from you. They are right there on the first checkout page. Whether they could ship it to you faster (and still give it out for free) is immaterial. That is not what they are offering.
