Yeah I find it amazing that Amazon can turn a profit on Prime (granted, I have no idea how their pricing structure works). For instance. I recently purchased a shitty phone case and a screen protector and the total for that purchase was $12.83 (don't judge me, I'm still looking for a better case! 
). The order was placed on Wednesday. One item was in Florida and one was in San Antonio. They arrived in Houston separately and then were packaged together and transferred to USPS as 1 package and delivered to my house on Friday. I paid $12.83 for that. So how much of that $12.83 did Amazon make? How much did the seller make? I mean yeah, I paid for Prime (which is what like $80???), but we have also placed 62 orders this year and some of those have been large orders(like bumpers for my Jeep...). All ships free..
Whereas, in my business, I get a single shoe shipped from Chelmsford, MA from New Balance Footwear Inc (obviously a large whole-seller who has to have some sort of cheaper shipping rates from UPS), and that package costs me about $13 just to ship it.
