After I heard about the rumor that S@H will start charging shipping, I decided
to go right for the source, I called S@H. And boy, are there some changes on
the way:

1) S@H will charge a shipping fee on all sets. The fee will be like the
Outlets, a flat rate up to a certain amount. She hinted that the amounts would
be up to $20, then up to $50, then up to $100. Not sure on the amounts though.
This will take effect for the Summer catalog due out at the end of this month.

2) S@H will have an internet presence by the end of the summer. You will be
able to order over the internet, and she said that this plan was one of the
reasons why they decided to change the shipping charges.

3) S@H will officially change it's name to LEGO Direct when they go on the
internet at the end of the summer. Does this mean that the S@H department will
merge with the LEGO Direct department to create one giant internet LEGO
superstore??

I am not sure whether to think this is good or bad....

(...) [snip] (...) I noticed on the S@H flyer in the last set I bought that the pre-printed address to send your order to was LEGO Direct, not LEGO Shop at Home. I too wondered about the potential conflicts of giving two different services the same (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I hope that means that their catalog price will then be list price. If they add shipping to their current prices, I'll be ordering a heck of a lot less. Frank (24 years ago, 6-Jun-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
