Found a cost saving flaw in Petco website. In our favor. Works for other products but this one appears to me to be biggest cash loss for them.
Imagitarium Pacific Ocean Water, 5 gallons
This product is not covered by the free shipping promotion. But it is listed with the 40% off promotion. They accidently made it so as long as you order 7 or less, you are able to get 5.99 shipping. But if you order 8 it is 100+ dollars shipping at is is not supposed to be eligible for promotions.
So I am ordering with a gift card, so they can't charge me more, and getting over 280+lbs of water shipped to my house for $59.34 including shipping and tax. 35 gallons.
It does work for other products. But I doubt there is anything that will cost them a greater loss than this monetarily due to the weight.
Price for the same product at local Petco -- $13.99 per -- Cost without the flaw ordering-- $165.

Yes I am aware I can mix it for cheaper. But buying it is so easy. Taking out my nerd rage on petco is just a nice bonus. I will admit I feel bad for my UPS guy.
Oh I live in Idaho Falls, ID. So not exactly a low shipping cost area. LOL
Also buying with pals rewards number for 5% cash back bonus every $100 spent, and using gift card bought on amazon.com with my 5% cash back store card. I got this internet shopping thing down.
