$5 doesn't even pay for shipping, sadly. Amazon still pays a average of $6 per order.

Eh I was thinking more USPS and less expectation of timeliness. More about the "set it and forget it until it shows up" kind of thing. Point understood though, as $10 starts to get into a competitive space (e.g. Spotify).

Yeah, but Amazon's also shipping exercise machines. These can't be more than 2-3 pounds of stuff if they're not worth $5.
