Crazy Shipping Charge

[mikethompson]

With all the threads about shipping and delays, I thought this might be of interest. Is this a normal shipping charge? Has amazon ruined me for free shipping?

That’s like those eBay auctions that list for $.99 and the shipping is $1,000. It think they stopped that. It was the seller’s way to try to circumvent some of the fees.

I think that walmart.ca is a scam site. My computer practically flipped out when I entered the url. It went to the first screen, but when I clicked on Windex, it locked up the whole page. YMMV

Well I'm sure lots of stuff is overpriced, but it is a legit website

I suspect it has to do with your regional computer settings and your search settings. If you actually go to walmarts website instead of google you'll likely see a difference.

It still a scam at those prices for shipping. Amazon that they ship you can get for a true zero dollar shipping fee. That's a lot of items and that's not bad at all. Vendors who are allowed to put things on their site but ship it themselves can charge whatever they want.

Maybe the $1000 delivery includes tent set up.

Again, actually go to walmart's website and look at it. I show it with free shipping:

I know, I just thought it was funny coming up on a Google search like that.

The odd time things on Amazon have outrageous shipping charges too.

That does look like a scam site to me.

Now because of those pole-Smokers they put fees on the shipping.

Probably just a place holder because you have location off?
