As for kbkids.com, I placed several orders last night, and there was NO
shipping charges on any of them.  Of course, you'd never know this until
going to the checkout screen, as that is the only place it came up.

Now, if I actually GET what I ordered from them, I'll be really surprised.
I don't think that they have their inventory database interfaced with the
website, and it gets annoying to order stuff just to find out later that
they don't actually have it.

You think that's bad, at KB toys online it's $3.00 base plus a $1.50 for
each item shipped. It's only really worth it if you buy a couple of big • sets
at the same time with a decent discount. They have 20% off right now but
their prices are 20% higher than everyone elses.

I just went to eToys.com to check out the lego-SW sale they have. I was
really excited over the prices, some really good sets are 50% off, and I
rushed to order them - seemed like a *great* deal.

That is, until I reached the checkout and saw the shipping prices. • Sheesh!
The shipping added about 25% to my total cost. They tack on a base cost • of
$3, plus $0.95 for *each* item. And that's *standard* shipping. Man. • There
goes my excitement...

I might still buy those sets, but I wish they'd at least let you know
upfront what the shipping rates were. Maybe I wouldn't have bought them • if I
knew the actual price. I hate those marketing tricks.
