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?

For those who buy classical music, it is worth checking out Presto. I find that occasionally I get much better prices from them than from amazon, and you do get a discount on shipping when buying multiple items.

Could be in anticipation of the internet transaction tax being discussed by the rocket scientists in Washington. A new Federal internet tax would definitely affect Amazon and most of the small retailers out there..
