I think the "free" shipping is built in to the price. It is obviously cheaper than conventional shipping from private sellers and has be to a little better than typical eBay rates. I get my value out of the music, Alexa and TV. If it wasn't for those I might drop Prime, so I don't consider free shipping as my reason to keep Prime.
Plus I finagled a student rate.
