I definitely try to wait for free shipping promotions!
-
Yes it deters me from purchasing! And I hate how some sites only do free shipping with a minimum order of way more than what I want to buy! I want to get H a little sun hat on baby gap and it's only $16 and the min for free shipping is $50 and Homegirl does not need any more damn clothes- gah!
-
@PrincessBaby: Baby Gap gets me every single time...!!
-
Ugh, I'll do anything to avoid paying for shipping! I usually won't order something if I do have to pay.
@PrincessBaby: Can you return in store? Usually I buy $50 worth of stuff and just take the stuff right back to the store that I don't want so I can still get the free shipping.
-
Yep, free shipping makes me 10000% more likely to shop online. Just bought a friend's wedding gift online at Kohl's because I had a 15% off plus free shipping code... but after the 15% off it fell just under their "$75 free shipping" limit so then I had to try another free shipping code, it wouldn't work, so I had to call and have them place the order for me. It was SUCH a waste of time but that shipping was more than $10!!!!
-
Yep. It usually stops me from ordering items once I calculate the shipping. Which is why I love my Amazon Prime membership.
-
@mrsjazz: ditto on the prime:)
-
@tlcbaby: Oooohhhhh! I like your style!!!!
-
Yes! I hate shipping costs. I will almost never buy something if I have to pay shipping.
@PrincessBaby: This drives me absolutely insane, I normally give up, decide its not worth it and don't order it.
-
Yes! Often times a good deal is no longer a good deal bc of S+H!
-
Yep, Amazon prime has got me spoiled.
-
OMG - yes!!! I refuse to buy stuff online if there's a shipping fee. The fee is just ridiculous!
@tlcbaby: That's a great trick/idea!! Purchase enough items to get free shipping, and just return the miscellaneous items! Bit of a hassle, but if I desperately want something in the future, I'll keep this tip in mind!
-
@PrincessBaby: This is what I always do with Target and ON orders. A friend told me she does this a long time ago and I couldn't believe I had never thought of it!
-
I hate when I shop on a store online for hours and then go to checkout and the price doubles because of shipping.
-
I hate it. I order a ton from Old Navy and the Gap lately (yay reasonably priced maternity clothes! Boo not have it in the store!) I always order enough so my order gets to the free shipping limit and then return most of it. They do free returns by mail too, so you don't even have to go to the store.
I do the same thing with J Crew, though I return to the store then. Like, I want this one bathing suit that's on clearance? I'll order all the sizes of other bathing suits I might want when THEY go on sale, try them all on, and return them to the store. Then, I know what size I am for when THOSE items go on final sale.
I might put too much thought into this.
-
@Foodnerd81: brilliant. Is return shipping at ON/Gap free? What about Jcrew? They let you return bathing suits?
-
Yup, I hate shipping fees! I also hate when you have a discount code and a free shipping code and they'll only take one. Totally deters me from buying and using either!
-
It's rare I'll order if I have to pay shipping! I WISH we could get prime but right now we can't add another subscription (I was sad when the free trial of that & music unlimited were up *boo*).
-
@tlcbaby: that's what I do too! I used to be easier when I lived and worked near a mall. Now that it's not convenient, I just don't buy as much.
-
@regberadaisy: Return shipping is free on Gap/Old Navy-- they won't accept most maternity clothes to the store, though with regular clothes I've also returned to the store with no problem. You just print out their shipping label and drop it off with UPS.
J Crew charges for return shipping, but will accept returns to the store, include bathing suits (as long as those sanitary liners are still in or whatever). Just make sure things aren't on final sale, since then they will not take returns (hence, ordering the full price stuff to make my order big enough).
-
Yup, I refuse to pay for shipping.
-
Yes! I'm a little ridiculous about it, too. I don't mind waiting, even if it's something I actually need.
-
As a Canadian I'm used to it.
I'm always jealous of you Americans and your free shipping!!
-
@Foodnerd81: Thanks! Good to know about free return on Gap/ON!
-
I hate paying for shipping. Glad I'm not the only one!
-
Yup! It sucks because I love online shopping but most times I will shy away if there isn't low cost or free shipping.
-
Yes, I hate shipping! Why does it have to be so high?! I will always put stuff in my online cart but end up not purchasing after seeing the shipping amount!
-
I rarely shop online because I think it's silly to pay for shipping.
-
Only if I return the item b/c I still had to pay for shipping.
-
I don't like it and I always figure it into the final cost of the item, but more often than not, if I can't find free shipping, I'll just pay it, if it's not too obscene, because what's $7.99 compared to driving 100 miles one way to buy the same item in a brick and mortar store?
-
@autumnlove: Yes I hate paying for shipping!! another prime member here, but prime isnt as good as it used to be, so many restrictions on it now
I'm always jealous of you Americans and your free shipping!!
