The new norm. Now retailers make any error, and when they customers buy, they come back and say "oops. We made a mistake, our bad. We're changing the price on you."

Got the same. It was clearly Free shipping when I ordered. They don't even bother to say they screwed up. As if we did something wrong when we placed the orders.

That's some darn expensive shipping for that tiny little stamp.... Otherwise known as just charging for the stamp and labeling it "shipping"....

yeah that seems like what they're doing... i mean... i don't think i've seen anything else from staples that has that much shipping on it that isn't like... a chair or a desk or something. even then a lot of those items have free shipping.
