I really watch for free shipping when I buy online and take advantage of it whenever I can. If it means combining orders with my friends, so be it. I hate to see how much it is going to cost me to ship the downey quilts back as there are 12 of them in a pretty good sized box. I think they have all gone nuts with shipping. Also, be really careful on ebay. Some sellers lower the price on an item and then charge you outrageous shipping. I've had that happen.
