So no need to find something that costs $2.50 so I can get to $25 for free shipping? Hurray.

I do the same thing all the time. I even have a list on my amazon account for various knick knacks to qualify for the free shipping. Half the time, it actually costs me less going that route instead of paying for the shipping. My last order was an item for $24.99 with $11 shipping; one penny short for being free. Added in an $8 powdered drink that I had on my list and saved $3.

And it's certainly not relevant to anyone outside the US. Why only American customers, do they have 'special needs' or something?
