Our Lug has been combining orders for the last two years. Even without the free
shipping that expires soon (10 days and counting!), when we place large orders
as a group, we save on total shipping costs. I just added a Breezeway Cafe and
the small windows #10051, to another members order today. No shipping costs!
I haven't thought about combining orders with co-workers. That's a great idea.
I'm the only employee who keeps a Pizzeria on my desk at the office:)
