I share Synergy 58's perspective. I look at every item in every flier but I've decided it's generally cheaper for me to drive 110 miles round trip to get an item than to pay for shipping.
I have $340.00 worth of stuff in my basket right now and they show $29.00 shipping charge. Its an hour drive and 50 miles, so its 4 gallons of fuel round trip and minimum 2 hours of drive time plus time in the store. $3.65 x4=$14.60 for fuel so that leaves $14.40 divided by 2 hours = $7.20 per hour plus miles on my car. AND I'm exposed to crackheads on the road. What kind of prices are they charging you?
It appears for the moment CW even has their shipping on sale. Here's
an example of why I don't pay their original shipping fee along with their "shipping on sale" (my term) price. In the online ad, the $21.00 figure is shown with a strike-through font.
"Summit Chair -- Catalog Item # 69705
Internet SALE
$47.99 SAVE $5.50
Reg $53.49
Shipping : Add $21.00 $9.00"
New fee is less than 1/2 the regular fee. Maybe someone at CW is listening.
