Amazon charges vendors a percentage to sell through their platform. The savings from ordering direct usually represent the vendor not having that additional expense, not that Amazon is making them pay the shipping.
Also worth noting is that some vendors use Amazon as their fulfillment warehouse, so there's no savings by ordering directly.....
