I distinctly remember One-Day shipping at 3.99 when I signed up for Prime about 5 years ago, two days ago when I was about to purchase something FREE Two-Day was available but One-Day sipping was 11.96 on one item and 15.35 on another.
Recently I saw where the shipping increased based on the price of an item. I bought Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 ($419) and the Prime next day price was $7.99. I guess they figure that if I'm spending $400+ on an item, a couple bucks more won't make-it-or-break-it for me.
I guess it was too good to keep up. I always spent the 3.99 for anything over $100 or so for piece of mind (and shopping satisfaction admittedly). I'll probably do it a lot less often now.
From amazon's standpoint it makes sense, but a notice/announcement would have been nice - "hey, we are changing terms of your agreement - you ok with that?"
should read "free restricted access to Amazon Instant Video" the restrictions are many (no HD in a browser) and many venues you would expect are simply closed, such as Tivo. They intentionally mislead all over their site as to what it really means.

The point of the original post is that it used to be a flat $3.99 per item.
