Rubbing alcohol is also cheap enough that the 'free shipping' is really just being included in the price.

Still better than sellers that only show a tiny price up front but then hit you with unreasonably high shipping costs once you are already invested in making a purchase. And often it's only free with large enough orders in which case the purchase price can still be reasonable - not any worse than what brick and mortar stores add to the price to pay for the physical shelf space the product takes up anyway.
