So who here orders *more* just to save on shipping

The initial brunt of shipping costs is generally the 1st couple of lbs....

I swear I do this all the time with various odd's and ends....it's a really bad habit as I'm making the xcuse that shipping will cost me the next time I need that extra 1 thing....I'll just tack it onto this order.

I run the math and make sure it's worth doing; I don't spend two bucks to save one.

It depends. A lot of my motorcycle parts I order I order more to save on shipping IF it's stuff I need or will need. If not I just order it.
