I just moved from the UK to the US. It is quite surprising how useless Amazon just became for me. So far, every item I wanted to buy has $49 min spend for free shipping attached to it, which is not something I have had to deal with - except for a few add-on items. So I just switched to eBay sellers instead. I realize the price may end up being similar but I want to know what that price is while browsing, not "add $5.99" at checkout.
