I was looking at a site that offered so-called *Free* shipping "IF" you spend $150.00 and use their card OR spend $300.00.
To me, that's NOT truly *Free* shipping--it's a ruse to me and I just thought about it and it makes me turn up my nose. Truly FREE Shipping is
just that--you don't have to do a thing, just order what you will and the shipping is FREE!
The other day I TRULY got "FREE shipping" from buying stuff from NM, spending whatever I felt like it using the now expired code BESTNM--that was free shipping.
Please don't get me wrong, I LOVE deals and free shipping (and/or getting something for "seemingly" nothing). But, I think calling it FREE Shipping but requiring you to do anything (do handstands, use their card, spend a certain amount is the old bait and switch). I think it's far more HONEST to call it something else beside FREE, and then add an ****IF***** I think TRUE *Freeshipping* is spending whatever you jolly well feel like it and the ship cost is free!
What do you think? What's a better and more HONEST term for so-called "Free-Shipping" these companies are pulling a fast one with. Maybe I'm off-- was just thinking outloud..
How about calling it and shipping BREAK or something like that
