The craziest thing is they even charge $8 for non-ground shipping. I just bought from a website that did free 2 day shipping on all items over $50!

And even with that — your package could sit at Fedex for five extra days because it wasn’t “scheduled” to be delivered until Wednesday! $8 well spent.

Even crazier, Nintendo charges $5 for "UPS Mail Innovations" ground shipping (which basically uses the post office)

Pretty sure this isn't quite true—UPS ships it all the way to your local post office, and the post office does the last mile.

In other words, the USPS does the part that is actually difficult and expensive.
