Cheapest way to buy a Raspberry Pi Zero ( with shipping)

Question

So I'm seeing a lot of places to buy the PI zero , but it ends up being like $5 to ship a $5 product. Amazon gets around this by hiking the price by $5 or so and offering free shipping.Aside from visiting a physical retailer, are there any options to get one without paying for such expensive shipping.

Go to https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-zero . Authorised resellers (I work for one). Official resellers are required to sell the Zero at a price that is equal to $5USD + taxes.

Can you find a good use for more than one? If so, you might try buying several at once. That same $5 shipping would probably cover half a dozen of them at least.If you really only have a use for one, you could try to buy from some place that sells other things you also need for your project. Case, camera, power supply, sensors, etc., which if ordered together should not raise shipping much if at all.

maybe my intuition isn't calibrated right, but $10 for a computer including shipping sounds cheap to mehow much does it cost to actually provide that shipping? what would a fair price for it be?
