Methinks your tone to be rather harsh, HarryK. Points well taken, however.
Sorry Dr. J, but I just don't understand why people cry foul when they get exactly what they agreed to.
Additionally, if people here would actually
read the threads that they post in, then more Anandtecher's would have seen from the other thread that no matter what the confirmation e-mail said, THE SHIPPING WAS BEING CHARGED!
There were a number of posts in that thread
confirming that the shipping would be charged, yet numbskulls kept posting "Look at me! I got free shipping! Free shipping is on!!" just because they got the exact same e-mail that everybody else got.

Nobody can point you to that place because is doesn't exist. Additionally, when people were placing these orders last week it didn't exist either. There was/is noplace on the HSN website that said or implied that anybody would get free shipping on these steaks.
People were "expecting" free shipping primarily because somebody posted in these forums that you'd get free shipping. Those same people ignored all the other posts that showed that shipping was indeed being charged and now people are bitching because they have to pay for what they ordered.
Like I said in the other thread.
"Gee, I think I'll dispute my entire credit card bill this month. I didn't think I'd actually have to pay for all that stuff that I bought"
It sure is unfair that a store would actually want you to pay the amount for an item that you agreed to pay for it. I think that people should complain to the BBB that HSN.com actually wanted them to pay for the products they ordered.
