The problem with your idea is that Amazon has no incentive to change their shipping price model just to break even.

If they made such a change it would happen only to increase their profits which could mean that your shipping charge savings living closer to a distribution point might be very little if anything.

One of the smallest costs in getting a package from a warehouse to you is whether the delivery truck had to drive an extra two miles past the last delivery point, meaning that even in more remote areas delivery trucks often make runs, perhaps more often than you realize specifically because it is a remote region where more items are mailed and fewer bought at a local store.
