But you can not get those clips at amazon with free shipping on them (unless you pay for Amazon Prime). When I clicked on the Coghlan's 527 Table Cloth Clamps on Amazon, it says it's an add on item and you have to spend at least $25 to get free super saver shipping (5-8 business days). Matter of fact, it would not even complete the order at all. Wouldn't give me a shipping rate or anything.
And by the way, the clamps are on sale at CW for $1.84 and shipping is $7. At least if I only want the table cloth clamps (which you can buy at Walmart as well, which you should have one nearby), you can only spend $9 and get them, rather than having to buy other stuff just to get the order up to the free shipping rate.
Oh lordy, I was making up an example when I mentioned the clips! The fact of the matter is CW overcharges for shipping!

I doubt there are that many Camping World Warehouses across the U.S. They don't just ship from stores when you order online. Although it might be a good tactic. Could they save money on shipping? Maybe. I do know from experience of ordering a small garden flag, a garden flag pole and a plastic suction cup thing for the small flags, where shipped in a way oversized box with about 25-50' of paper stuffed on top.
Shipping was free at that time for members, but to me, it was not a cost productive way of doing it for the business. Response I go, was that it was a normal size box that they use. I think they might wanna look at it a different way.
