I assumed with their bulk shipping contracts they figured it was more affordable to ship separately rather than pay someone to package things together. Until the add-on program that is. Before it, they had lots of stuff across their site for only a buck or two that shipped like everything else with prime. Then they not only created the add-on program making it less convenient to buy small items from them when you needed, but shortly after they started over-inflating the prices of many of those items, as if they didn't even want us to buy them from them anymore, or expected most of their customers to be dumb enough to pay twice the price of what you can get it for locally - still haven't figured out which. But I thought amazon seemed to make more of an effort to ship stuff together these days: they've even seemed to delay shipment for a few of my items, presumably to send it with another order I had due.

Yep when the add-on program started it pissed off a lot of prime members because with prime you still had to have $25 worth of stuff, I guess Amazon wanted to give the sellers more sells because at least for them $4 +$3 S&H is way cheaper then $25 min order.
