Suggestion. PM should price its SIM on the same lines as Alivna to make it competitive.
Hi @sa7375 , the SIM is $10 and shipping is free if you have a purchase basket of $35, or if you're a Prime member. While we'd love to align all our options at Amazon to $10, Amazon provides some added benefits and scale compared to regular Canada Post service. Note that we still offer free shipping via Shopify
We always recommend doing business with authorized dealers to ensure authenticity of your SIM card and other purchase safety benefits.
No debate if a user picks up the options (Prime or $35 shopping cart) you mention. I highlighted the discrepancy for one and just one reason alone that the optics of PM must look as good — or even better — than any of its competitors. Perhaps you'll appreciate that a person opting for PM services is likely to be a cost-conscious client and may not feel good about a $5 anomaly.
At the end of the day though you are a better judge to decide what policy to implement.
The "Alvina" is a brand new seller account with no history and unknown inventory levels (could simply be reselling a single SIM they changed mind about using)
At $10 (incl shipping) Alvina is selling at a loss so unless Alvina is a cellular store with large inventory the comparison is irrelevant

Very huge step as it increases availability for many people (even non-Canadians)

Are there any plans to sell on Amazon but skip the Amazon fulfilment? Fulfilled by Amazon works great for Prime members who will get next day delivery, but for those who purchase $35 worth of product from Amazon, free standard shipping can be outright slow.
Amazon tends to use the equivalent of Canada Post Expedited (vs. Xpresspost that Public Mobile uses) for free standard shipping orders, and will sometimes sit on an order a week or two before sending it out.
Since these orders are being fulfilled by Amazon, returns will be possible. If Amazon were to ask the customer to physically return the sim card, are there steps in place to ensure such a sim card doesn't get resold to the next person? I know that Amazon would not sell a sim card again if it appeared to be used, but there are times when a sim card could appear to be unused and never taken out of the package, but actually be activated.
I've noticed another product listing for Public Mobile sim cards that says "Ships from and sold by Amazon.ca". I do wonder if there is a possiblity of of these getting bundled in with cell phone devices sold directly by Amazon that have been confirmed to work with Public Mobile.
Congrats!! This is great news! I have Amazon Prime, so I would get it really fast, and it woudln't cost me any extra 
For friends and family I refer in the future, I may offer to order for them and have Amazon deliver it to them for their convenience. Thanks!

Really only makes sense if you're a Prime member ... then no shipping (and possibly same day delivery depending where you live).
