Haha yeah there might be an ecomm bowl this is more appropriate for. This bowl is more for creative advertising/agencies.
I get it… Free shipping isn’t free. Store owners view free shipping as essentially a $5-7 discount, since it’s coming out of their profit. Yet customers don’t ever really think about the fact that free shipping just means the store is eating shipping costs, so it doesn’t seem like a discount.
(This is why prices on Amazon are sometimes higher, because they have to include shipping in the overall price. One way or another somebody’s paying for it.)
