These are exactly my thoughts as well. Free trade is generally considered one of the driving forces behind large increases in prosperity worldwide. Many corporations have greatly profited from free trade, as do consumers. This is one more example where a consumer, as well as Amazon I would think, profits of free trade.
The savings would have to be extensive though, to make it worth the hassle
