I had a nice surprise in my inbox the other day - a 10% off coupon for Crafts, Etc., the online version of Hobby Lobby stores. Since I'd signed up for their newsletter several months ago, they sent me this promotion to use during my birthday month (August). I decided to give Crafts, Etc., a try.
I went to the online store, browsed the (limited) selection of sterling silver products and found a couple of multi-strand clasps that I could use. I applied my birthday coupon, and clicked the button to check out.
Imagine my dismay when the shipping and handling fee showed up as nearly 50% of my total order! Two small, fairly lightweight clasps were going to cost $6.95 to ship...and the clasps were only $15.00 with my birthday discount!!!
No thanks, Crafts, Etc., I'll shop at a store that offers free shipping (Artbeads.com) or $5 FedEx shipping (FireMountainGems.com) and has loads more to choose from.
