I received my email from wolfgang.com for 35% off plus free shipping upgrade. When I placed my order online, it took the 35% off, but added on $18.95 for shipping. I ordered a bottle of soap, and a few small items. I called and explained, i was told shipping charges still apply. Plus, $18.95 to ship a small box ? ORDER CANCELLED !!!
 
I think they mean upgraded shipping speed so that you get it before Christmas.

Free upgraded shipping, meaning we'll make sure the package arrives on your door step before Christmas by upgrading the shipping method at no additional cost to you.

If you're in no rush to receive the package, we can extend a sale we ran last week, which was 20% off plus free (ground) shipping. Place your order online and put a note in the comments box and we'll take care of it.

When was that going on? I ordered last week and I saw the 20% off but it still charged me shipping. I put in "need for christmas" even tho i didnt because i figured if i have to pay 25 bucks for shipping, i might as well get it quick. For free shipping I wouldve waited but no matter what I did it charged me shipping.
 
I don't understand why AGO plays these nickle and dime games when it comes to shipping. The lack of consistancy is rage inducing to say the least.
 
Superior Car Care also has 35% off FYI

No free shipping though.
 
Slide on over to Autopia and get the Autopia Connect. Free shipping, plus 10 percent off, plus 10 percent cash back points. It has already paid me back many times over.

You have to plan your orders accordingly. Sometime it is better to get free shipping (depending on your proximity from FL) when you order consists of mostly heavy objects, and when you order pads or other like things, a discount may be better.
 
it's all marketing.

getting 35% off and you pay shipping would be close to the common 15% off free shipping.

(obviously depends on the weight, and amount of items)


i tend to get my large bulk orders when shipping is free, because having several 20+lb boxes shipped 1500 miles would add up FAST.

if you notice other type of websites, some will be a few dollars more per item, but free shipping. where a competitor has items a few dollars cheaper, but charges for shipping.

company's have accounts with ups/fedex and pay a difference rate than what the customer is charged for shipping, so that extra few dollars makes up for the bigger % on the sale.

(just things i've noted through years of ordering online)
 
Sad, my order showed up today and then I get a coupon for 25% off PLUS free shipping.

Now I have to order more stuff!
