Free two-day delivery isn't free. The driver was paid, the truck burned fuel, and the cost is in the price. The promise only works for things made in bulk and parked in a warehouse near you, so it picks the warehouse over the small shop every time.

The hidden cost of free two-day delivery
Free two-day delivery is not free. Someone pays for the warehouse, the box, and the trip back. Here is who pays, and what it does to small makers.
