Does anyone else feel restricted because of shipping fees?

I know that many of us have ditched Amazon, but it's hard to ignore their free shipping policy.

When you're looking for Canadian products sold by Canadian companies, and have to pay $10-$20 extra for shipping because it's not available locally, it's like a premium on top of a premium.

And yes, some places offer free shipping past a certain amount (usually well over $100), which just incentivizes buying extra stuff you don't need.

I mean, shit, you can get products shipped from China for free, so why can't we offer free or very low cost shipping within Canada (via Government incentives)?

Does anyone have any tips to ease this pain point?

Whole Foods and Audible are owned by Amazon btw.

Libro.fm and audiobooks.com are Canadian alternatives to Audible.

Well.ca and local businesses are Canadian alternatives to Amazon. If you really need that low-quality junk (press X to doubt), cut out the middleman and purchse directly from China with Aliexpress instead of Amazon. Amazon sellers usually just markup and resell from Aliexpress/Alibaba anyways.

I wish other grocery stores with their own brands start doing this!
