a. Do lower free shipping limits entice you to buy more, or less?
It depends on the value I'm getting on the merchandise. If I'm getting a really good deal, I'll load up my shopping cart.
b. Is predictability of shipping costs in your ordering important to you, or would you rather be surprised when your shipping cost is lower than quoted?
I want to know the shipping charge upfront if it's a company I've never bought from before. If it's a company I'm familiar with, and trust to be fair, I'm okay with not knowing the exact shipping charge ahead of time.
c. Do you walk away from an order if shipping costs are quoted too high, or do you take the time to check the store's shipping policy?
Yes to both.
d. Does having a lower free shipping limit compensate you for paying too much for shipping on smaller orders?
It really just depends on the total for the order. All other things being equal, I'll buy from the company who can get the items to my door for the lowest total cost, regardless of how the cost is broken down.
I love shopping for deals! It's fun to see just how inexpensively stuff can be bought. :thumbup:
