So 22% of buyers go through with the purchase even if the shipping is too high? Doesn't the definition of "too high" mean that you didn't go through with it? I look for items WITH shipping. Shipping isn't taxed. Free shipping is subsidized by increasing the price of the item, so now I'm paying tax on shipping too. I look for the best deal, regardless of shipping charges. This free shipping nonsense is ridiculous. God people are stupid/lazy. What a stupid survey. So 22% of buyers go through with the purchase even if the shipping is too high?
