If you want me to continue to click through you, which I'm happy to do, then figure out a way to not present me with the crap items where the shipping is WAY above the actual items.

Yep, shipping is the scam here. It's about $5 per item. No discounts for bulk purchases either. Nice try though.

Comes up $5.32 per pack - no way.

The system normally accounts for shipping, and adds it to the item's price. Given the prices have now gone up I can't see whether there was a problem ascertaining the shipping cost or not, or whether it was actually free at the time Amazon was queried.

It's no longer on the amazon.com watch page, just the front page. Maybe there's a way to amend the front page to automatically show that the deal isn't valid any more?

Why is it every time I click on the links I rarely if ever see the price that triggers the notice. It's always higher. Do the amazon sellers offer 1 or 2 at the low price simply to get people to click on their listing?

Complaints aside, this system is *VASTLY* better than Amazon's own system where you filter by 'prime' then sort by price and you get this crap.

IIRC, 'click-through' only pays if we purchase, so I can't really see faulting a free aggregator . . .
