20b : shipping is abusively eating up the low price

20C. Realize this is not the best price on the product. 20D1.

 For i in range (your_breaking_point): 
            if i == your_breaking_point:
                   break
            Return to step 1.

While it sucks, I think that's better actually. Let me cook lol

Websites that ship for free have to factor in the shipping into the item price.

Which means that if you order a lot of items at once rather than separately, you get no reward for being more sustainable.

Shipping costs ensure that people don't make inefficient, single-item orders unless they really need to.

waits to order stuff until there's a few things needed

free shipping not available anyways unless you hit minimum order of 50.-

proceed to order 10 things at once

each thing gets shipped in a separate package, on separate dates…

even the 20x 1cm M3 screws that you originally needed come in a cardboard parcel, by themselves

packages keep arriving randomly at your place for the next 5-10 days, leaving you with a pile of cardboard

The shitty idea is that you have to make an account and lots of jazz before they tell how much shipping is.

Also, instead of 25€ for the product and 8€ for shipping, surprise!! the 18€ product magically needs a special courier for 15€ to ship it.

After registering, verifying your email, and logging in, they say they don't ship to your country.
