Buy.com offers FREE SHIPPING!

hahah... you think Indiana is bad, look at California! We have sales tax that goes up or down 1% based on the economy (this year it went up)--bay area sales tax is 8.25-8.5%. I think I read somewhere we had a huge surplus a couple of years ago.... well we did, till the energy crisis/scandal ate it all up. Not to mention that our gas and housing prices are among the highest in the nation as well as numerous other things that make you mad! Yeah, your increases suck but hey, it could be worse!

Um, it's not on every product, what's the hot deal? The subject line should say:

Buy.com PERMENANT FREE SHIPPING ON LIMITED ITEMS

Besides, if any money is exchanged for a product, I promise you the shipping is not free....

 

[Omniprezent]

Now the question is, will Buy.com raise their prices, to compesate, thus defeating free shipping? My guess is yes.

 

[Expandable]

You guys notice they increase prices on items too.

I belive few day ago they have "Maxtor DV Producer with 1394 Card and Soft" for ~ $48 now it is $58.

In response to crazydave, Yes here in indiana we don't have earthquakes, well we just had a 5.0 yesterday, but we do have a bit of snow, cold and ice versus the sunny Ca shores (we do have good sweet corn and melons though).

Very nice. S/H can ruin a great deal sometimes...

Where does it state free permanently? I got this little window that said "Get FREE SHIPPING on qualified items. For a limited time only!"

 

[dakata24]

got my first thing under their new free shipping ....

5 pack verbatim 4x-10x high speed cdrw for $4.95. $1 a piece for high speed cdrw media is good esp with free shipping..

They are just doing it to counter Amazon's limited time $49+ free shipping offer. The title should be changed to include limited items and limited time free shipping, but still a good deal on small items (if they qualify).

That is just beautiful...

 

[zippy]

Sadly the only thing I want from there still has $30 shipping...damn you buy.com and your not extending free shipping to the specific LCD I am buying!

This is wicked hot though.

 

[MontyBurns]

I guess I don't see how it's "wicked hot." Their prices really aren't that great anymore, and they are still charging shipping on low-margin, in-demand items like CPUs.

For things like DVDs, you're still better with DeepDiscountDvd.com.

Free shipping on "selected items" is BS. I have spent a fortune (over $4000.00) with buy.com. Haven't made a purchase from them in over 6 months. $11.00 to ship a HDD? Gimme a break! Looks like they want to compete with CDNOW and Amazon... not Newegg or Staples.

Bye-bye buy.com.
