Pathfinder Rulebook Subscriber

Does anyone know why Paizo's shipping is so expensive?

I just signed up for the adventure path subscription, and was shocked to see that I'll now be charged $6.39 per month to ship the subscription.. If I go on amazon to look at 3rd party adventure path sellers *everyone* charges $3.99 for shipping a single volume. Considering a subscription is regular guaranteed income, I was hoping for somewhat of a deal on shipping, or at most to pay what seems to be the standard for everyone else.

I know it seems like only a couple bucks, but when you compare it to the advertised 30% off retail, and you realize that you'll then have to pay 25% of retail for shipping.. something seems off.

I originally got the subscription because it appeared to be cheaper than going through Amazon, and getting the free pdf copy seemed nice. Now it seems that Amazon Prime members will have to pay *more* to get it through the Paizo subscription with 30% off. So now I have to ask myself if the free pdf is worth it.

If anyone has thoughts on if the free pdf copy is worth paying a higher price, I'd love to hear it.
