  • Technically speaking, there’s no such thing as free shipping. It’s built into the price, and for low dollar value items, the ship cost is spread out over other products in a merchant’s business model. Whether its FBA (fulfilled by Amazon) or FBM (fulfilled by merchant), the merchant is the one paying the shipping, not Amazon. You can be sure though that Amazon is getting a smokin’ hot deal from CanadaPost for that volume business. Just my guess, but CanPost is offsetting the lower profit margins for shipping Amazon’s packages by charging more for smaller volume Canadian merchants who ship direct to the consumer.
