"Seems kinda like shoplifting to me…"
Not sure I understand, since Prime advertises "free shipping". It doesn't advertise, "free shipping dependent on how our algorithms capriciously operate". I don't disagree that my life choice to live where I do might require me to pay more, in that case, charge me the difference (like Costco). Don't lock a % of the products as completely off limits.
I have, on occasion, used the Amazon chat feature to get them to ship something to me that was behind their Cardboard Curtain. In those cases the agent explained to me there was an error on how the item was listed that was preventing it from being eligible for shipping to Hawaii.
They invented this game, I'm playing by their rules, and I pay. That's nothing like shoplifting.
