Shipping cost….do companies still do this?

[iheartthe80s]

Most places that I order from do a flat rate shipping. I remember ordering from Jcrew in college and the more you spent, the HIGHER your shipping was. So aggravating. Now it's flat rate of $6.50 or something. Anyway, I placed an order with Victoria's Secret and the shipping was $20! I mean, it's underwear! It's light as a feather. Luckily I had a $25 off coupon, so in a sense that  covered it, but I really didn't know companies did that anymore. It's like being punished for buying more.
Vent over

Honestly no, I don't see it very often. Anymore I don't even place an order unless it's free shipping or I have a really good code. $20 for clothes is pretty crazy.

American Girl does. As if that stuff isn't expensive enough already.

[iheartthe80s]

Ok, now THAT is crazy.

[lala]

Yep, that's one that's hard to get a code or free shipping. There are a few places like that, wouldn't have expected it from VS, though.

Another vent…I ordered 2 nightgowns from Disney Store. It was nearly two weeks ago. I had honestly expected it to ship within a few days (my daughter needed her's for a party). 8 days later it was still processing and they wouldn't allow me to cancel it. The package has been shipped, but it's still not here. Never again.

I would complain on their Facebook page. It does not cost $20 to ship underwear.

That's crazy. I order from them all the time (usually with a free shipping code but sometimes not) and have never paid that much. Wtf vs?!

[eaglesfan]

I very rarely order online without free shipping. If I do I won't pay more than $7

Overpriced shipping for overpriced panties. Sounds about right.

I seem to shop at places that are all "spend this much and get free shipping" and I always get free shipping.

[humpty]

Kohl's does this, too.

[penguingrrl]

I won't buy online if I have to pay for shipping. I'll either skip it, go to the physical store or buy from a competitor who either has a closer physical store or offers free shipping.

[andrewsgal]

I won't pay for shipping unless it's etsy.

[melew]

VS shipping has always been ridiculous. I don't get it.

[letranger]

Amazon spoiled me. I want it now and cheap.

[serendipity]

I am cheap and avoid paying shipping if possible. We do have Amazon Prime but definitely get our $$ worth in shipping.

[iheartthe80s]

I get it about Amazon. I order most from there. I'm always baffled when I meet someone who doesn't use it.

I was just thinking about this. I needed pants and had a Macy's git card. I found pants on clearance, got $25 off from the gc, and got an additional 15% from googling a coupon code. I was still pissed about 7.95 shipping even though the pants cost me $16 out of pocket.
