[QUOTE="vitry-le-francois, post: 9437669, member: 100"]This is a bit long so I apologize in advance.... Don't know if anyone uses Rakuten when they shop on-line. If you don't, you should! Anyway, through Rakuten, they were offering 15% cash back from Goodwillfinds.com So I thought I would look for some sterling. Heck, with 15% cash back and my credit card kicking in an additional 3%, that's an 18% discount on silver! I found most prices sky high but located a few decent buys. Got a Gotham sterling serving dish (910 grams) on sale for $585.00. Take off 10% for 1st time buyer, then kick in the 15% cash back and 3% credit card kickback and it's a GREAT deal! Tax and shipping added about $40 but it was still worth buying. I got $85 back to my Rakuten account immediately. Now, this is the odd part... I found several other bowls and three lots of jewelry that were very near scrap prices. With the discounts and cash back from Rakuten, I would get the lot for a good price. When I went through the check out process, the shipping total for ONE LOT was $171.45!!!! Yes, ONE HUNDRED and SEVENTY ONE DOLLARS and 45 cents. Naturally, I thought it was an error. I added additional lots and these were averaging $150.00 shipping per lot!!! No combined shipping. So I deleted everything and picked out a random shirt--nothing else. The shipping total for the shirt was $8.85. I then added the shirt with a silver bowl and the shipping total was now $158.85!!! I played around some more with silver jewelry lots and each time the shipping costs averaged $150 per lot with no combined shipping. Any one else go through this? [ATTACH=full]437825[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
