This has been discussed in the past where they offer free shipping but raise the price of the item to offset. No free lunch.


@MrSour   On the other hand, nobody mentions the thousands of items where the price HASN'T CHANGED.  In the normal course of doing businesd, prices change constantly.

I've ordered 10 things in the past week & paid for s&h, can I also call CS & get FS for all of my 10 orders?


@shoechic   You won't know unless you try.  You can also email the MODS.  Email info provided above if you scroll up!

Two items ordered today (so far) and no price changes.

I ordered Mason Cash baking bowls on Lunchtime Specials two days ago.  Here they are today at the same price with free shipping.  Cost me 7.50, I'll get over it.


@depglass  If interested, once they ship, call or chat with CS and ask for an adjustment. They'll more than likey refund the shipping.


IMO, this should never happen. I could see if you ordered at say 10am & at 12pm FS was offered, but two days? And if it doesn't ship for another 3 days & then she is supposed to call in & get FS based on the fact there was a FS day

From what I remember it's within 24 hours. I read it somewhere.

 

Don't know if that is still the case.

I had purchased an item approx one week ago for $28.32 + $5.50 s&h. Since today was FREE s&h day, I just looked at my order history and that same item that was $28.32 is now priced at $33.99. So basically they added the previous s&h charge to the item price and are telling us the s&h is FREE which it's not.

 

This will absolutely prevent me from purchasing on FREE s&h days now. If you have no record of previous charges, there's no way to know if they are deceiving the customers.


@LilMadi   They do that with several items, but not all of them.

@LilMadi  It all depends. I think if we are serious about something we want, we have to keep checking the item daily on our Wish List.

 

I have had my eye on a pair of Bernardo shoes. A-540260 They were listed at one time for $119. Which was a super savings but the S&H was over $11. No way.

 

So today they were listed at $106 with free shipping. I did buy them and looking forward to receive them.

Re: Don't fall for FREE s&h days!

Every time a free shipping day is offered, you can be sure someone is going to start a thread saying prices have been raised and it's essentially a con.

 

Last I knew most of us were adults capable of deciding for ourselves whether something is a good deal.

 

 I don't need someone telling me not to "fall for it".  (I've already placed my orders - prices the same as yesterday.)

Re: Don't fall for FREE s&h days!

Certain items I've recently ordered had a substantial savings and I paid s/h.

 

Case in point - Item is $84.00 w free shipping today but I ordered 2/24 and paid $69.84...

 

so there are items price increases.

@homedecor1 You bought it when it was on sale though, right? Things go on sale & come off sale all the time. I don't consider that a price increase.

Most of the items I wanted today didn't have free shipping.  Woman Mad
