Personally I would have done the SAME thing you did, and I
have in the past 2 weeks done that on 2 different occasions
because what I was being charged was not what was stated
in their "ordering and shipping"policies.
I also changed my mind about ordering SEVERAL items from
Amazon because the item I was ordering was 10 of those
"purple thangs" at a cost $1.65 each and they
wanted to charge $6.28 for shipping on EACH item.

With todays economy what do these venders expect!!? We come to them for a bargin and they turn the tables on us. So far I've been lucky on my online orders, thats why I try to keep a few online stores in my favorites and go back for the same good service. Nope, you're not cheap, just a wise shopper! Keep your cash and spend it where you can really find a bargin!!! Good Girl!!

I too am "economically wise" when it comes to shipping. You did the right thing and handled yourself well. I would love to see an uprising take place when vendors charge a flat rate shipping for each individual item.

Yes, I would have cancelled too. I would also have looked at their shipping policy for that offer and if it was as you thought, I would have emailed a copy of the policy to them along with the cancellation.

I have to agree, and add the fact that "shipping and handling" makes me crazy in general. Too many times I have found that the "shipping" charges were about half of the value of what I ordered! Something that actually cost the seller $2.00 to ship--somehow equates to a $5.00 shipping charge. I don't get it!
