    While it sucks, I think that’s better actually. Let me cook lol

    Websites that ship for free have to factor in the shipping into the item price.

    Which means that if you order a lot of items at once rather than separately, you get no reward for being more sustainable.

    Shipping costs ensure that people don’t make inefficient, single-item orders unless they really need to.

      The shitty idea is that you have to make an account and lots of jazz before they tell how much shipping is.

      Also, instead of 25€ for the product and 8€ for shipping, surprise!! the 18€ product magically needs a special courier for 15€ to ship it.
