<i>Delivering batches of household goods of arbitrary size profitably is a hard problem that no one has figured out.</i><p>Wait, wait, I think I&#x27;ve figured it out.  <i>Raise the price.</i>  Repeat until either the transaction is sufficiently profitable, or the customers go away.<p>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.<p>Basically, Amazon has started to tell their customers &quot;No.&quot;  That&#x27;s new, and I agree with the other posters who call it a bearish sign.
