It converts the $$s to the selected currency and attempts to check if the item can be shipped to the selected location in the search. It seems that the US is pretty much the cheapest tho occasionally I have bought from the UK. For some reason Canada is quite expensive. Hi,

Almost all of the food sold directly by Amazon falls under the "spend $25, get free ground shipping". It's relatively slow, but it's free. I buy freeze dried fruit from Amazon, and a case is almost always over $25, so I get the free shipping automatically. It doesn't come the next day but a little planning ahead saves me $79/year.

I did buy some books there recently. I'll have to check that out. Thanks I must admit that I’ve never thought about purchasing groceries or food from amazon.. I did buy some books there recently.

And now specialty food. I can't shake my thought of them as a "stuff" (and mostly entertainment stuff) place. That's great, though. It sounds like they're an excellent supplier and I suppose they can afford to carry more stuff since they've got such a broad audience.
