Amazon's free shipping deal is with USPS.
USPS is being forced to raise rates, due to inflation and rising cost of oil.
Eventually, amazons free shipping deal with USPS could fall through if inflation and oil rise high enough.
...
That said, I see a lot of local hawaii businesses selling their wares on amazon. Lychee fruit sells as high as $17 dollars a pound on amazon. Macadamia nut $12 a pound.
I would guess local business is doing very well judging by those prices.

That's funny.
But for reals.
It makes 100% good sense to grow off zone produce up there, if its viable.
Trees and plants also absorb air pollution, which could make the air up there clearer and better for astronomy.
