well, I sucked it up and joined Prime, against my wishes, and may end up cancelling.
what, perhaps, was not clear in my first post is that Amazon has a running message "last day for free shipping to arrive before Christmas" in the upper right of the page. I have been eyeing it carefully every day. now, one would believe that is what it implies, but get to the shipping page and it's a different story. harumph. should not have waited this long, but was going on what that stupid little message was telling me.
