You are correct in saying we make more on our main site, but only slightly these days. It's only a 2-5% difference for us now, on average. Shipping costs for us have ballooned like crazy, and we still have to pay a high fee for card processing on the main site. So while Amazon does take a cut, we save on other costs on there. This brings the final difference in margin to not as high as it was in the past. It has been interesting to watch. We've absorbed a lot of costs on the main site over the past two years. Shipping costs being the biggest part of it. It's not just outbound shipping to you guys either. We just paid $25,000 to ship a single 40ft container via sea to us a month ago... That's fucking asinine! It would have cost us $2,000 before the pandemic. This is profiteering by the entrenched companies out there, plain and simple.
