Help!!! Help me decide what to do.

I was wondering how many LUGNET members were waiting until the last minute
to make a purchase with free shipping? I have waited and waited...and still
want a  Metroliner Kit without paying shipping. I don't think my spouse is
giving me the set for Christmas. She's mad that I spend too much on my hobby
anyway.

Should I but the Metroliner Kit and just hope I don't see it under the tree
on Christmas? Or, should I wait and see?

I would suggest placing an order now for yourself if you want to take advantage
of free shipping.  After your parcel arrives, keep the carton sealed and hide
it well--from yourself as well as others--until AFTER Christmas.  If you DO
receive a metroliner kit as a gift, you can return the one you ordered.

BUT, before you do this, double-check the return policy for S@H.  I am not sure
how long you have to make returns.  It is printed on the back of all packing
slips from S@H so you can check an old one if you have one available, else make
a telephone call to S@H to inquire.

This will ensure that you have the opportunity to build a metroliner on
Christmas day; yours will be a present to yourself.  It will not reduce the ire
of your spouse, but she may be understanding on this particular holiday.

(...) Thanks Kevin, Good strategy. I was also informed that free shipping has been extended until December 8th, so I have another week to procrastinate. Decisions, decisions, decisions... Bert (22 years ago, 28-Nov-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)
