Scroll down further. The author found the same laminated shoe rack on Amazon for $16.17, and notes that having a Shopping membership (equivalent to Amazon Prime membership) removes the shipping fee. That means that a price comparison of the same product was $16.17 vs $13.24.

Personally I think fretting over three dollars on a shoerack is a bit silly, since the shoes it's holding will each be at least an order of magnitude more expensive than the rack.
