They take the prices, add shipping to them, and set them so they break even at $25.00, hoping you order more. Here at Spice Place we charge a fair price, lower than Amazon, and charge actual shipping cost.

The point I was trying to make is, if you were to place a $100.00 order with Spice Place, and order the same items from Amazon, your order would cost less with Spice Place because they've loaded their sale price with shipping costs [so that they can offer "free shipping"]. The fact is that Amazon is not offering free shipping, they've added it to the product price. Order a lot of heavy low cost food items and you'll make them change their pricing model
