Just in time for Christmas shopping and they can rake in the bucks.
The free shipping is the main reason I don’t drive to Walmart or Best Buy. I will need to seriously reconsider my shopping choices. Why pay $10 or more shipping for something I can purchase for the price of driving to Walmart?
I hope this bites them in their greedy corporate asses. It will serve them right if this little nasty trick costs them 20% of their Christmas sales.
This directly causes me a problem. I’ve had a recurring order for a case of Campbells soup setup for over 2 years. Automatically ships every 3 months and cost $26. Just enough for free shipping. At least until these scumbags raised the rate to $35. I’m not sure what I’ll do. It was pricing out just a few cents a can under what I could buy locally. There’s no way I can pay shipping without getting royally screwed. I guess that means lugging heavy shopping bags of soup home from Krogers from now on.
