It's amazing how many people believe that something is better just because it costs more.Consider, for example CocaCola verus Tesco Cola.
...R
CocaCola can be cheaper than bottle of water.
IS
Tesco Cola cheaper than Tesco Water?

I won't go near Amazon after a situation where I wanted a book they had for sale.
I clicked the approapriate "buttons" and got to where it asked for my credit-card details, BUT it hadn't told me how much the PACK/POST robbery was that they charge.
I complained on line and I got an "online" "operator", all I kept getting the standard replies and nowhere.
Then I mentioned "Consumer Affairs".
The writing style of replies instantly changed, I think I actually was chatting with a robot up till then.
It took a while, but they calculated the P/P cost, 125% of the value of the book.
I explained that is why I wanted TOTAL cost before I committed anything.
I then got a robot reply, like "Did we satisfy your enquiry?" so I let loose on their reply box, surprising it had a character count limit.
I didn't buy the book, and I filled in a complaints online form at Consumer Affairs, I got the standard robot reply "We have recieved your mesage and we will blah blah blah...".
No reply since.

If Amazon are so turned on with logistics and material handling efficiency, why do they gouge you for P/P?
So they can waste money on drone delivery service?
