Delivering batches of household goods of arbitrary size profitably is a hard problem that no one has figured out.

Wait, wait, I think I've figured it out. Raise the price. Repeat until either the transaction is sufficiently profitable, or the customers go away.

That will work better for everyone than what Amazon has started to do lately, which is prevent you from buying certain items at any price until your order exceeds $25.

Basically, Amazon has started to tell their customers "No." That's new, and I agree with the other posters who call it a bearish sign.

Maybe the current prices are already low enough that raising them would make the customers go away?

I can only speak for myself. Seriously, are people actually defending Amazon's add-on items? I'd love to hear more about the business rationale, no snark intended.
