What got my goat was Amazons practice of breaking up shipments into groups instead of just one shipment (when it came to CDs and DVDs). They tried that once with me and it set off a mini campaign of acrimony on my part that was followed by all sorts of excuses on their part. It never happened again.
As for the price increase, I guess with that 1/2% profit that they're choking on they didn't notice what effect it would have. :-)
Monopolization has always ended up in price increases and lower customer service since, de facto, they're the only well known game in town. Amazon just wants to become another utility, like the gas company. No one looks for another source of gas.
All the best,
