Yep. Free shipping is not free shipping when you move the cost to the items. 2 day shipping is convenient, but not as convenient as driving 10 minutes down the road. For me, even 2 day shipping is an inconvenience. If i'm not saving a good deal of money, I'm not going to use it. Compound that with the fact that they now charge sales tax in my state, and I can honestly say I don't order too much from them anymore.

The worst is the UPS to USPS handoff where the USPS driver just leaves a note in your mailbox saying that your package will be at the Post Office waiting for you. Why did I wait 3 days to go pick up a package from a place with a horribly long line? I can't imagine what the line is going to be like on the day after Christmas, damnit Amazon.
