That being free shipping at ShopHq.  The banner on the website today says free shipping on orders $75 and up; flat rate shipping charge of $9.99 under $75.

I am surprised it lasted as long as it did.

It doesn't surprise me.  They are struggling just to keep the lights on.  They thought free shipping would boost sales but that didn't happen.  It was an experiment that failed.  But $9.99 is ridiculous.  I can't imagine paying that to ship a $40 top.

I also think they are struggling, it seems they mostly sell jewelry and high end beauty creams these days so I seldom tune in.

Deal breaker for me, the free shipping lasted 7 months.

Re: Well that didn't last long

So just buying one item under 75 will cost you 9.99 to ship it, that will never fly. They are really headed for trouble.

I just sent their CS a nasty note, not that it will  make any difference. .

I think $8.99 or $9.99 is pretty much the price to ship goods now......seems to be the minimum at many places unless they offer free shipping.

I don't think that will make a bit of difference good luck ! I used to shop their site and watch daily about 5 yrs ago but stopped. I did buy a top about a year ago and haven't worn it yet !  I don't watch and don't buy but they will certainly lose more customers with that high shipping cost !  Time will tell.

Re: Well that didn't last long

So, lets say you buy one item in the morning under 75 and you pay the shipping fee, then you buy one more later in the day and it makes your total over 75, will the 2nd item ship for free ?
