Amazon wants you to get Prime, so they're giving you a holiday incentive

I'm not surprised. Last year analyst were predicting they would be losing money with the free two-day shipping. I notice that the USPS just revamped their Flat Rate service too. The free insurance coverage has dropped from $100 to $50 USD, and I think they shrunk the box sizes as well. I've also noticed that UPS ground shipments that used to be guaranteed for 3-day delivery now have a 5-day delivery. The economy is catching up with everyone!
