Looking for a FREE shipping day

ZoWhat · Dec 11, 2020

Lots of Vendors with pretty decent Holiday Sales Events.

Anyone heard of any FREE shipping coming up with any Vendor.

I'm talking free shipping without a minimum $$$ purchase

Free shipping motivates me to buy big time

I would think the vendors would get hit hard. Would be to many misc. one polyp zoa sales.

But if you’re buying big time then a minimum purchase amount shouldn’t be a problem?

I think the reason vendors are hesitant to do free shipping without a minimum purchase amount is that they still have to pay for shipping, so they wind up losing money on small orders that are shipped free.

At a LFS i can get 1 poly on 1 frag plug and FREE PARKING

SaltyUnderground has free shipping at $75. It's not hard to get $75 in corals in your purchase.

Shipping corals is expensive, especially if it's overnight. Imagine how much money they'd lose, selling $10 frags when they're paying $30 to ship.

That is great, you should support your LFS as much as you can. But their pricing usually includes the shipping that they had to pay to get it there as well, or they are big enough that they can do very large orders to keep the cost down. Also the LFS usually does not have near the variety online can have.
