New shipping charges at Amazon


Has anybody noticed that Amazon vendors are now charging $3.98 for shipping? It's been $2.98 up until now with no discount for multiple items, so they were already making money on the shipping.
I buy used CDs and these vendors have been my number one resource for years backed by the Amazon guarantee. I just bought 4 CDs for $15.00 and the shipping charge was $15.92.

So does anybody have a favorite site to buy used? (In US with return policy). What about discogs for used?

Harri009...This is taken from their website under the
Shipping Information tab:

"The shipping charge for Movies, Music and Video Games
is based on a "Per Product" flat fee. (i.e.
shipping charges for 3 movies would be $2.88)"

I have ordered numerous times and have only been charged the
.96 flat fee per item. I even ordered a few LPs and was
only charged the .96 flat fee. Maybe I just got lucky.

I actually just went on their site and added a few CDs to my
cart and sure enough .96 per item shipping. I really think
it's their normal charge.
According to Amazon's FAQ they charge $2.99 per order and $.99 per item. So if you buy more than one cd, dvd, etc. from the same seller the shipping charge will be lower, $4.97 for two items, for example. Buying one item will be more, $3.98. That's how I read it anyway.
Tomcy6... the private sellers charge per cd or dvd, no discounts for multiple items. They are also selling them at a lower cost than Amazon. This info is on their "Storefront."
I have been paying $2.98 shipping for many years but it's been worth it when the cd is half the price of Amazon.

It also seems to me that Amazon has been raising their prices on CDs lately.
