  Free Shipping?
 
Hi, I just received an email from the UK LEGO shop at Home Team, whose subject line was, and I quote, "New LEGO Star Wars & FREE Shipping!". However, I haven't been able to work out quite what it refers to or what they mean. The shipping information (...) (22 years ago, 22-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
 
  Re: Free Shipping?
 
I got the same e-mail. The body of the message makes no mention of "FREE Shipping". Scott A (...) (22 years ago, 23-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Free Shipping?
 
I wondered about this too. The mail is very star wars orientated so I was wondering if it was only on those products but the site has no mention at all of free shipping. I know there are a few things I want to pick up off the site but the high (...) (22 years ago, 23-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)

I may be able to assist here...The LEGO company seems to work on the theory that if you don't live in the USA/Canada, then you don't really matter...try changing shipping country to one of these two in their site and see what pops up.

  Re: Free Shipping?
 
I'm not sure what the e-mail you received was referring to, but I ordered the ISD and the Williams F1 in the United States right when the ISD became available, and they didn't charge me any shipping for the order. Note that nowhere on the site that (...) (22 years ago, 23-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.uk)
 
  Re: Free Shipping?
 
(...) Unless it’s a sop to their dealers, I think its crazy that they don't offer free shipping as standard for larger purchases. I can buy Lego from www.argos.co.uk and get free shipping if I spend over UKP100 [$154.70][1]. I can get a next day (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: Free Shipping?
 
(...) Whoops! As some of you may have noticed, we accidentally sent out an email to our UK customers with the wrong subject line. However, since this was our mistake, we will honor the offer for free shipping. To qualify, just call up Shop at Home (...) (22 years ago, 24-Oct-02, to lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.lego.direct)
