Want more code. More more more more.

@cranky1950 You’re cranky.

@hems79

@Thumperchick rare? does that mean they exist?

@Yoda_Daenerys they’re kind of like Santa, you only see them if you believe.

@Yoda_Daenerys The only one I have seen was because of a snafu in an item description caused people to receive an item with a different spec. . . . . Okay the blade of a knife was made of a different steel then was listed on the main page so purchasers got a code for a bit off a purchase.

@Kirgen There were codes issued for the espresso machine with expired coffee pods and to contest winners too.

@Thumperchick hang on, what are you saying about St. Nicholas

@shawn That’s pretty sharp Shawn!

@shawn how many times can that code be used?

@shawn bath?

@shawn
I want a 1-year free VMP code just for me.

@f00l

Several times I posted asking what would happen if a person asked if anyone had a code for a 100% discount off of an item, but I kept yanking it.

@PlacidPenguin Did you spurt eventually?

@PlacidPenguin There’s always somebody yanking it around here. Shit, some days you need a wet suit to read the forums.

@therealjrn
Confessing, are you? I commend you for coming clean.

@f00l :sigh: Yeah, some days it is just better to take matters into one’s own hand.

@therealjrn That’s really profound.

@cranky1950 You bet crankster. I’m not here for a long time, I’m here for a good time.

@f00l @therealjrn @cranky1950

I probably should have phrased that differently.

@PlacidPenguin But it wouldn’t have been half as much fun

@cranky1950

But then I wouldn’t have gotten certain glares.

@sammydog01 @DickE your code has probably already been used 73 times by all the smart-asseries, but i’m sure it is still valid for you

the thing is once you start buying with that free shipping it’s kinda hard to stop

just like marijuana is the ____ drug to get to cocaine, right?

@Yoda_Daenerys You do your marijuana in lines? That’s different. What do you do when you get to the cocaine?

@therealjrn plasma lighter, duh!

gateway was the word i couldn’t think of for ____

/image lines in the sand

@rickwhoo with your effortless approach to time travel, moving physical items should be easy.

I get free shipping all the time- don’t you @djslack?

@sammydog01 I do get free shipping, but I’m not sure about FREE shipping. But Rick doesn’t know how to get a badge by his name. Should we tell him that if he rents a badge, shipping is gratis?

@djslack @sammydog01 Rick? Rick who?

@djslack @Ignorant

@djslack @sammydog01 F the badge…

@djslack @rickwhoo @sammydog01 Fine the badge? Fix the badge? What are you trying to say man?

@djslack @sammydog01 @therealjrn Fuck

@djslack @rickwhoo @sammydog01 Oh my, aren’t you just the potty mouth?

@rickwhoo You’re certainly entitled to your opinion. You do know that Meh does offer FREE shipping with a membership, right?

My only real question is why resurrect a thread from 2016 to discuss it today? Is it an Easter metaphor?

@djslack @rickwhoo original zombie?

@djslack and how much for the membership???

@djslack @rickwhoo 4.99 a month.

@djslack @RiotDemon They don’t sell enough good stuff to deserve that…

@rickwhoo

Most items here are decent deals until the high shipping charge.

They don’t sell enough good stuff to deserve that…

Which is it, sir?

You could go check out Amazon’s free shipping instead. It’s only $6 $9 $10 $13 a month.

You still haven’t answered my question about why this needed to be discussed in a long dead thread.

@rickwhoo
You can get a $5 coupon if you win @jasontoon’s Look Smart Trivia. That would cover the cost of one shipment, or a month of VMP (which includes free shipping) with a penny left over.

@eonfifty @JasonToon not vmp, Membership.

@JasonToon @RiotDemon
Ahh. I must have read VMP in one of the 2016 posts. When was VMP discontinued?

@eonfifty maybe two years ago now? They brought it back if you supported the casemates Kickstarter over a year ago. Sometime last year they introduced Membership.

@rickwhoo you are actually welcome to point out better deals in the daily product thread, and even post links to them. So I nominate you, every night at midnight et, look at what’s for sale, Google it, and find us those better deals with that sweet, sweet FREE shipping.

See ya in a few hours!

@rickwhoo mkay then.

@rickwhoo
Shipping is expensive. Oftentimes I’ve bought and sold products online that were cheaper than the shipping cost. Most recently I spent about $2.50 for a power switch. Shipping for that switch was more than $5.
If I were to sell an item that is worth less than the shipping cost, and I had to provide free shipping, I wouldn’t sell the item. I’d make more money ($0.00) not selling it than I would make selling it and paying shipping costs above the price of the item ($0.00 minus shipping).

@rickwhoo
Just an additional thought: You could get free shipping on everything you buy if you’re willing to go pick it up. That may not be cost effective, but if you’re already planning to travel to the physical location of the item you buy, and you plan a stop to pick up the item, shipping costs could be as cheap as walking from your hotel to the store or warehouse. Also, if you have friends, family, or another proxy in the area of your item, and if you visit with them occasionally, they can pick up the item for you, and you can get your item when you visit them. It may take weeks or months to get your item, but there would be no shipping cost. In fact, with enough people, you could get free shipping with everything you buy, no matter where it is. It could be like a volunteer fire department’s bucket bridgade across the globe, but instead of passing hand to hand a bucket of water from the source to the fire, they’d be passing your items from person to person, across the planet, from the store to your door.

@eonfifty seriously… you had a lot to say there. I don’t drive anywhere to pick purchases I buy online, they get delivered by USPS and the shipping charges are free…

@rickwhoo
What and from whom do you purchase online? Some retailers charge more for a product to cover the cost of the free shipping.

@eonfifty starred for that ridiculous giphy!

@djslack @eonfifty

starred for that ridiculous giphy!

yeah… it’s like Groot and Baby Groot!
