Accuquilt Shipping Shock!
I need some mats for my Accuquilt. They have a 35% off sale, so the cost is $39. Shipping is $13!! Free shipping is for NET amounts of $150 and over. That's over $400 in merchandise, right?! WOW!

I am not exactly following your math. But, I usually try and get enough stuff so I get free shipping. I usually order extra mats to do that or a "want" not a need die. As I stocked up on mats during the holiday sale, I have two extra of every mat I use so I am good for now. Someday, I think I may like the electric GO but my regular GO is working just fine for now.

I love my AccuQuilt and use itall the time. That said even with the discounts the shipping does certainly have to be taken into account. Our local quilt shop does carry some AccuQuilt dyes and accessories so I do try to shop there as often as possible. Apparently AccuQuilt is not the best company for retailers to deal with. They don’t give discounts to the retailers that they can then pass on to customers. That makes it difficult but still if I can I shop local. Or wait for free shipping on deals.
It is true that shipping has certainly affected many companies. Some pass it on in the actual cost of the item others add it as shipping either way they can’t absorb the shipping costs all the time I guess.

At 35% off, you are paying 65% of the original cost.
