Let me cook lol Websites that ship for free have to factor in the shipping into the item price. Which means that if you order a lot of items at once rather than separately, you get no reward for being more sustainable. Shipping costs ensure that people don’t make inefficient, single-item orders unless they really need to.

Also, instead of 25€ for the product and 8€ for shipping, surprise!! the 18€ product magically needs a special courier for 15€ to ship it.
