You may be missing a point for comparison. My understanding was always that international packages, due to negotiated relationships (especially with china) end up being a FAR larger burden on domestic mail carriers in terms of cost.[0]
I haven't done sufficient research to know how these compare and I would of course be convinced otherwise if the numbers were weighted opposite what I understand them to be, but on the surface, I find that to attack Amazon while leaving this on the table is taking the metaphorical bait (Trump has been on an anti-amazon warpath for a while now, my own opinions aside) to the deficit of attacking The Real Problem.
