I'll have to go and see if they changed it AGAIN. It used to be $2.50
each for the first 5 items (a sleeve of 5 tins was considered 1 item).
Then it went to $2.50 for every item individually (each tin in the
sleeve was charged $2.50 shipping).

As mentioned, I wanted a couple of cheap cutters for my golf bag. JR had
them at one cent, and $2.50 each for shipping.

Is it so hard to just calculate the appropriate charge when the order is
tallied up?

Oh my dear friend, you must have drug coverage.......For those of us
that do not, Wal mart still is the leader in the 4 buck genertic drug

In article <pRRbj.11847$m6.8...@newsfe18. lga>,
a) They're $1, here.
b) ...but that's only if you walk to the door. Getting a guy to bag it
up & bring it to your door would cost extra.
$2.51 for a $1 cutter delivered to your door is quite a deal, actually!
Yes.
(Feel free to suggest a scheme that scales to JR's staff &

Correct. Packing problems are one of the ways mathematicians
earn their keep. When I was in grad school, FingerHut (in
Omaha) hired a professor and 3 of his students for the Summer
to work out an algorithm for deciding which size box to
pack an order in. Their current algorithm was using up

How 'bout this for a scheme:
Free shipping on all orders over $250.00.
I'd buy way more stuff to try to save a couple of bucks. <BG>

You get a box and look at how your product fits, and if there is too much

Geez Tom .... you been out of the loop for quite awhile now. Lew sold
