    This should be interesting. I ordered a book through Amazon. The shipping cost more than the book. UPS says my book has been in Fife WA and Eugene OR, two days in a row, only 20 minutes apart. Now I'm wondering how many books I'm getting and how fast.

    .....and how many shippings you'll pay for - unless you have Prime, in
    which case, you'll save a lot in multiple shippings, and be even
    closer to getting your money's worth for Prime.

    I get my money's worth from Prime, but that's because I pay almost nothing for it. Most of the time I don't care how long it takes to get something shipped here. I have probably already planned ahead. Unless it's a specialty item I can usually find
    whatever it is for around the same price from some place around here. By the time I want something quickly Amazon is offering me a free month of Prime again. I had just used up my latest free month, but they offered me a week for $2. With the other book
    I ordered I could pay $4 for shipping or $2 for a week of Prime. With Schrödinger's books I didn't have that option, but since that book or books was almost free I didn't care about the shipping charge.
