Buy.com Free shipping 2/26-2/28

[MontyBurns]

I think it must be recent. I order from them quite a bit, and only noticed it on my last two shipments (over the past month).

Damn, this sucks. I heard rumors on the internet a while back that buy.com would be offering "free shipping between Feb 26 and Feb 28, 2001". I delayed buying some books because I wanted to take advantage of the offer. Now the "$100 and higher orders" restriction. That's B.S. Hell, if you're spending $100, they should offer you free shipping at all times. Free shipping is only meaningful if you wanted to spend $10-$20 like me.



<< I like buy.com for the same reason many of you guys do. The have good prices, fair shipping, and good service. I also like my $30 coupons. One way we can help them survive is to go to their site (linked) and clicked on a bunch of their ads. That way they get some commision, and I'm sure we'll start seeing more coupons. >>




<< I don't know...I'll take a wild stab that at least 10K members comb through these threads every day, so if everyone just go to buy.com, they will get 10K hits a day x 30 days in a month = 300K additional hits a month. If evereyone agress to go there 3 times a day, they get around a million additional hits a month, which should make them more attractive to advertisers, so they can get more per click. As of now, I'm sure they are getting no more than $0.01 dollars a click. If each of us go there and click on 3 ads a day, that's at least 10K a month extra income for them..not much, but since I have high speed dsl >>



Are you nuts? Like most joint-stock companies (which I presume buy.com is), buy.com is owned by a bunch of wealthy fat cats who make more in a month than you'll see in your life. I don't doubt that they will appreciate you clicking on their banners, but if you want to impart some good into the world, find a more worthy cause, like volunteering at a hospital, a political campaign, etc. If buy.com goes out of business due to foolish business practices, the only people who will lose are wealthy, highly educated capitalists who should have known better than to invest in such a shaky business in the first place. Either way, you shouldn't be losing any sleep over this.

What next? Calls for donations to the &quot;Feed Bill Gates fund?&quot;

[Cryo]

time to use my other cc to get the $10 off and free shipping.
Not awesome but been a while for a good deal at buy.com

 

[SendTrash]

yes! free shiping.. I was just waiting for it to buy a mess load of cd-rs

 

[Staaypuft]

Is this deal still going on? I don't get the pop-up window about free shipping anymore and when i add $100 worth of stuff in my basketball and go to checkout, it charges me for shipping. The stuff that I'm ordering isn't over 20lbs and I thought it was supposed to last until midnight tonite.

Their shopping cart has gone berserk. It seems to randomly apply either free shipping or not. At least for me.

Staaypuft,


<< $100 minimum purchase in the Computer, Software, and Electronics Store. >>


Might you have something outside those stores? (like a basketball? )

 

[Siamskunk]

Seems like Buy.com has a messed up system.

I have a &quot;free shipping&quot; window pop up on the screen, added some items that were around $200 and it still showed $6.41 s/h

Maybe someone can explain this quote



<< Free shipping offer is limited to items under twenty (20) pounds. If a shipping charge applies, this will appear in your shopping basket at checkout. $100 minimum purchase in the Computer, Software, and Electronics Store does not include shipping and applicable tax.

 

[trots]

Just a guess, I think they're trying to say, &quot;If the total weight is over 20 lbs.&quot;
