    Default Connecting Threads free shipping increase?

    At the bottom of the newest catalog it says July 2017 Free Shipping on all orders of $75. So I guess starting in July it goes from $50 to $75.

    Oh no! I wonder if they will raise the minimum for free shipping to Canada too? It's currently $75.

    Oh, that's too bad. I guess it is to be expected. Makes the other Place with five dollar shipping look pretty good. I do prefer CT's website for finding things, 'though.

    This in addition to their higher prices on fabric will have me looking else where. They were my favorite go to shop on the web.

    They are having a good sale on thread and batting right now. I noticed they are selling Sew Complete thread too. That is good thread that is not crosswound on the spool. I use it for my Featherweight.

    Their thread is on sale until the 24th. Also there is a coupon for $10 off a $75 order.

    I'm guessing the shipping is still free. What has changed is the minimum amount of an order to get the free shipping. Used to be $50 to get free shipping & has been increased to $75 to get free shipping. The shipping is still free, you just have to make a larger dollar amount purchase. Hope this makes sense.

    Yes shipping is free if you meet the $ amount spent. It is now $50. Seems it will be $75 soon.

    Even with the increase, they are cheaper than many other places.

    It seems like everything is going to cost us more. We sent a 4 lb. pkg. to our daughter in Sydney, Australia with her Christmas presents, but in May and it cost $65. She's coming home for a visit in Aug. to spend her birthday in the States, can't wait as we haven't seen her in over 3 years. Anything we have for her will wait until she gets here.
