Default Tins on HSN

I saw this & wanted to buy several at $3.99! But look at the shipping! :shock: That's crazy! At least I think so.

That is WAY nuts, considering you'd be paying that for EACH tin!

Wow... that is crazy. Is there a discount on the shipping if you buy more than one.. or is that per tin?

Exactly! If that was shipping for several, I could consider it, but not per item! The price for the tin was exciting, though. But shipping killed my joy!

I normally get mine from ebbcreations. They offer a 10% discount to SCS members. If you catch them on sale, plus the discount, they are really reasonable. And they ship fast too.

That's outragous! Shipping is double what the item costs.

And let's get real...I'm sure it costs less than half of that to ship! Maybe they are stuffing it full of goodies, that's why it will cost so much to ship! :-D

I used to buy on HSN, but really only bought single items. The reason - they charge a separate shipping and handling charge on each item. They recently raised the shipping costs to either $7.95 or $8.95. I've seen them list a pack of stickers for $3 and charge $8.95 shipping - that's ridiculous! It costs less than a dollar to mail! And, they don't combine shipping on items unless they have a super special special (also ridiculous) which keeps me from shopping there. I say write them and tell them it's insane and ask them to change their shipping charge policy.

Wow!!! That's not a good deal at all on that tin once you add shipping into the cost!!! Buy the tins somewhere else!!!

Hi,

Oh boy. I really get a BAD feeling on companies that do that. It's highway robbery. Seriously, is there anyone that would pay that? I could see if it was like for up to 6 of them or something, but for EACH ONE? Not in a million years.

I sent them an email. That's just crazy! I don't shop at HSN much, I prefer QVC. But QVC also ships items individually! Same thing- a pakage of stickerd (or maybe a few more,) they'll charge $3.95 or $4.95 to ship. And they don't combine items!

$7.95 tp ship a tin, but today, you can buy an Oral-B Sonic toothbrush w/timer and have it shipped for$6.95! That makes no sense!:eek:

Ridiculous.
With that shipping I thought maybe they were located in another country, perhaps Canada. But it looks like they are in Florida. Weird. Who'd shop there?

What are they filling them with?!? Or are they packed with the care one would send a raw egg?!?
I thought maybe it was $7.95 per order, but no, that is per tin. As others have said that is highway robbery.
