Not until after you'd bought a box and some plastic peanuts, and paid someone
to pull them from inventory, stuff 'em in the box, top it off with peanuts,
seal it up, and label it, you couldn't.
It doesn't seem likely, at their prices, but it's possible that they're
not recovering their full shipping and handling costs from that charge.

In this particular case, I agree with you. But there are also plenty of
other cases where it *is* well worth it to pay the $3 + 95 cents per item.

| (...) You're forgetting the fact that online stores don't have to pay for store overhead like the ones in the mall, and if they're selling most things at mall-store retail prices, where's that extra $ going? ~Mark (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

| I looked at a couple of different pricing schemes. They were all way too much. You could US Mail all 4 o' them critters for less than 7 bucks. The way I figure, it's just not worth it. IMO ~M (24 years ago, 6-Aug-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
