It's a lie, there's no such thing as free shipping. Local buyers indirectly pay for distant buyers' shipping. It hurts communities by discouraging local commerce. eBay, Amazon, etc. urge their sellers to offer free shipping because of this.

I hate Amazon. It was built on anticompetition, now they are huge and influence policy in their favor, e.g. sweetheart deal with USPS as you say. And they benefit hugely from the lockdown policy.

Everything they do is just another monopolistic anticompetitive effort. Free Shipping, Amazon Basics, Amazon Fresh, AWS.
