Hi Mike - can you clarify this sentence from near the end of the article? I'm only seeing two payments to Amazon.

It’s now gotten to the point where it’s quite easy to pay Amazon three times in one order: for shipping, which you get access to through Prime, and for a product that’s actually just an Amazon-made product.

Depends on how you're shipping, but if you do overnight/expedited shipping, you still have to pay for that on top of the cost of your Prime membership.

The way I understand it is that Prime membership doesn't just pay for shipping (even if many people only use it for that).
