    Except a lot of times it’s cheaper on Amazon, with faster shipping, even without prime. Most recent example I ran into.

    $75 direct

    $65 Amazon

          It doesn’t, but shipping is $5, still way cheaper.

          Also, free shipping only kicks in at $35, so technically this doesn’t either.
