I still view it as the price going up. I wasted enough "add this to get free shipping" when it was 25 and had stopped bothering to order very often. I ordered one too many books that were on my "borderline" list to fill out an order.

Unless I have a more expensive item, it will generally mean I can find the product cheaper elsewhere or wait.

Though it's noticeable, it's not a huge deal. I already shop around quite a bit. If I ordered a lot from Amazon I'd have just signed up for prime so that shipping wasn't an issue.
