 |  |  mckenn join:2005-06-03 Richmond, VA | Re: Hmmm As I understand it, the way they can afford not to charge you shipping is that they wait a few days and send a bunch of orders all at once. I figure that's a fair trade. If I need it sooner, I pay for shipping.
Actually most of the time when I order with Super Saver shipping, it comes faster than they estimate. But it's possible that I'm near one of their warehouses or something. | |

 |  |  |  | | Re: Hmmm Yea, I like the free shipping. Although if your ordering multiple items, the two day isn't that bad. I ordered a couple of text books and the two day ended up being about 3 dollars extra for each textbook. | |

 |  |  |  jmycknshk...bring your green hat join:2004-07-02 West Chester, PA | don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining about free shipping, just when you're used to the free 2-day shipping of places like zipzoomfly.com, and it gets there ahead of schedule, one tends to get a little spoiled... | |

They were offering a free trial for the express shipping option but as much as I like to buy online, I cant see myself spending $76 a year just to get a cheaper express rate. -- Mass Transit Sucks! | |

In addition, they have some interesting content. Notice the "Content Here" text at the top.
