We're all totally spoiled by Amazon's free "Super Saver" shipping.  If you buy anything that costs more than $25, they ship it for free.  That's their deal.  And, apparently, they stick to it HARDCORE.

The "Wall Street Journal" decided to put Amazon to the test . . . and hunted down the HEAVIEST ITEM on Amazon, to see if they could get it shipped for free.

The ended up settling on a massive fire safe that holds 48 guns, has 13 locks . . . and weighs 1,509 pounds.  Including all the packaging material, it weighs 1,672 pounds shipped.  That's only a few hundred pounds less than a TON.

The safe costs $3,486.57.  And . . . Amazon DID ship it for free.  Even though it cost about $700, Amazon ate the shipping fee.

It's just part of Amazon's business model to ship free.  Just last QUARTER, they lost $636 MILLION in free shipping . . . about a 1% loss per item.  But they've figured out how to MORE than make up for that in sales volume
