I just went to
www.fnac.com, put a paper book costing €12.35 after the 5 percent discount in my shopping cart, and was told:
FRAIS DE LIVRAISON GRATUIT
So what do you make of that?
I want to be open to what you may write back. And maybe fnac is in the process of reprogramming their free shipping code. But if they are indeed in honest defiance of the shipping law, I think that a better way to do business than Amazon's juvenile one cent dodge.

We can argue over whether Amazon should have done it, but I agree with you about this being a middle finger. I don't think that's a smart place for a foreign company to be, but we'll see how it works.
