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.

Was ordering up a bunch of various toys for a new pressure washer set and ended up spending just shy of 4 bills on pressure washer accessories...

i love the flat rate shipping and wish more companies would do it. FK1usa use to have a $5 flat rate and DG currently does

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

[Insert plug for the book Predictably Irrational, read that and you'll be a bit more careful about such stuff

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.

I do this, or I will even go so far as to wait for free shipping specials and buy a bunch of **** I just wanted to try out...
