There are almost never free shipping codes so I always end up having to pay $8-10 and it is so so so slow... Things usually take a full 2 weeks to reach me and I live in a large city! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443515 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 10:07:50 +0000 PrincessBaby 2443515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I hate paying for shipping!</p> <p>I got a ShopRunner account through American Express, and they do free-2day shipping for tons of online sites. For example, The Limited, where I buy a ton of work clothes, has a $125 minimum to get free shipping and even then it's just Ground. But they use ShopRunner and so I log in as Shop Runner member and even if I just buy a skirt or something, I get free 2 day shipping. It's awesome! </p> <p>Other stores are Saks, Tory Burch, even Babies R Us and Toys R us- no minimum and free 2 day shipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443478 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 08:57:46 +0000 Applesandbananas 2443478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh yes. Hanna Andersson shipping is so ridiculous. I never buy from there unless there's free shipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443469 Sun, 31 Jan 2016 08:48:51 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2443469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck yes.

If I'm paying double (or close to it) I pass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443348 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 23:43:21 +0000 808love 2443348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The shipping was 2/3 the cost of the product the other day. NO, thank you! Wait for Cyber Monday- aka free shipping day is my motto. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443346 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 23:41:51 +0000 NavyRN2012 2443346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipra: It depends on how much your order. I buy a TON from Amazon, that without Prime, I'd easily spend over $99 in shipping a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443232 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 20:19:50 +0000 Littlebit7 2443232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm insane. I will drive and do store pickup in order to avoid shipping however my brain somehow blacks out on the tolls I will pay and the time sitting in traffic. Hellooooo metro NYC. It's dumb but I do it. Paying for shipping fro large companies irks me because so many other companies waive it now. Small independent shops I pay shipping without hesitation </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443217 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 20:06:56 +0000 skipra 2443217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's funny that we consider our Amazon Prime memberships as free shipping. I mean I do it too...but it is more like paying upfront for shipping, right?</p> <p>I always pay for shipping for Shutterfly when they have their freebies. Shipping is usually more than the cost of the item so it is pretty silly not to just order things together and use a code for free shipping. But otherwise I normally abandon my cart and get super annoyed when I get emails about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443203 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:51:47 +0000 pastemoo 2443203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: Right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443202 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 19:50:05 +0000 BandDmommy 2443202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate paying for shipping.

I will spend a long time shopping, and finding things on clearance online and then when it comes to $5.99 shipping I am like NO WAY! and close the window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2443133 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 18:28:19 +0000 alphagam84 2443133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. I wanted to buy a notebook with DD's picture on the cover and the shipping cost was at least $8 for one notebook and I said forget it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2442733 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 07:47:59 +0000 Mrs. D 2442733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Especially when I"m shipping from a US company to Canada. It can get ridiculous. </p> <p>I have to REALLY want that thing from THINKGEEK to even consider it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2442727 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 07:44:51 +0000 nana87 2442727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2442684 Sat, 30 Jan 2016 02:08:22 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2442684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually only look when I know I'm going to be eligible for free shipping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost/page/2#post-2440848 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 18:05:04 +0000 catomd00 2440848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wont buy something if shipping id more than $5 if i can avoid it!

I will empty an online shopping cart in a heartbeat. :silly: </p> <p>I like the online retailers that don't charge tax!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost#post-2440824 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 17:38:56 +0000 wrkbrk 2440824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Oh totally. I guess I am cheap bc I do this ALL the time. Shipping charges make me ragey. I will totally cancel an entire order because of shipping (looking at YOU Babies R Us - they charge separate shipping for separate items in the same order sometimes!!). Amazon Prime or it doesn't happen. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost#post-2440813 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 17:25:04 +0000 Mrs. Marshmallow 2440813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. I actually paid $8.00 for shipping with Old Navy today and it hurt me a little inside. The deals were too good, and I didn't want to spend more to qualify for free shipping - so I just bit the bullet. Etsy is the WORST for shipping costs. Drives me crazy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost#post-2440808 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 17:23:20 +0000 youboots 2440808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are very few places I will pay for shipping fees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost#post-2440791 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 17:15:04 +0000 petunia354 2440791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I wonder, do the stores who offer "free shipping" just mark up their prices enough to cover the shipping cost? That doesn't really apply to Amazon though because they often are the cheapest... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-reconsider-an-online-purchase-after-seeing-the-shipping-cost#post-2440789 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 17:14:35 +0000 Truth Bombs 2440789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I just ordered M's big girl bedroom furniture from PBK last night. The shipping and delivery fees almost made me want to vomit. </p>
