I doubt that is accurate, it's not just supply and demand. We order lots of stuff through Amazon prime, free shipping. With the value of some of the things we order the shipping should double the cost but it doesn't.
It's more likely the post office or other shippers are just gouging us, just shipping gifts to the granddaughters puts a big dent in the old pension checks.
