Accuquilt shipping

Not sure how your figured it. But, if you pay $39 for each mat, you would have to buy 6 mats for a total of $234. Now take 234 minus 35% and that gives you $152.10 to get free shipping. I ordered some before the first of the year and I got 40% off and free shipping. Shipping has gotten really expensive and I am sure it will continually go up.

231 *.65 = 150.15

150 is .65 of ?
.65 is ? of 150
​​​​​150 / .65 = 230.77

One of the .out useful things I learned in a catch- up math class:

__________ of __________ = _____________

" of " is " to multiply"

When the sale was % off the already sale price with free shipping a couple of months ago I stocked up on mats to last for long time. The sales were crazy when the inventory was being liquidated. Accuquilt was sold to another company. . I got a the large Go crank starter kit for $149 and free shipping. Now if mine breaks I have a back up for cheap.

Free shipping is often used as a very effective sales technique to get folks to spend more than they normally would.

How many of us have add 10's of dollars of unneeded things to our carts to just to get that free shipping?

ahh...that is why I get extra mats....they do wear out!

I have left items in the cart and then they send a free shipping code. It may not work if you had to enter a special code for the discount.

I have! More times than I want to remember.

The deal yesterday was BOGO 90% off with free shipping. Today it's 35% off all sale prices. Everyday it's a new variation of % off.

Your total needs to be 150.00.
It doesn't matter the discount you are getting nor the original price, as long as you have 150.00 or more for the free shipping.
They just had a sale plus free shipping, I bet they will do that again.
the company was sold last month.

Go to Quilt in a Day. They usually match Accuquilt's sale prices and there is no shipping. Just a though.
