Placed a large book order with Amazon yesterday.

Canceled it today. Ordered with Barnes & Noble. The book prices were the same but Barnes & Noble could ship a week earlier and they have no charge for shipping if you jump from the New York Times Book Review.

Our Holiday Gift for you: Free Shipping!
Receive free shipping on your order of $50 (US) or more. To be eligible for this offer you must complete your transaction within this session. Offer available on domestic orders of 50.00 or more when you choose the Standard Delivery or US Protectorates, PO Box, APO/FPO delivery options only.

I am posting this because I thought it unusual that Amazon did not match the offer when I called.

BTW, speed and price aside, Amazon has a better web site.
