I got my first 14 buckets today. Each one was shipped separately: given the
cost of the box, the packing material, and the USPS shipping, eToys is
really taking a bath on this one. All came off the same line at the same
location, but five different packers signed the forms. The e-mails indicate
that 16 have been shipped so far.

Well, my story gets a little more worrisome for e-Toys.  I was reviewing my
credit card charges on-line, and now e-Toys has given me a credit adjustment to
10 of the 19 original charges they placed against my card ($2+ each).  The
first 19 charges added to the expected total of $50 for 8000 pieces (20 buckets
+ coupon).  But they've just given me a $27.50 credit (unwarranted), which
means my price just dropped to $22.50 for 8000.

But, of course, I'll have to call and have them correct it.

Some companies just go out of their way to go out of biz!  The eToys
werehose is about 10 minutes from my house, but they still wanted to gouge
me for shipping, so I passed on the Biggest Deal Of The Year.
Aaron, bucketless.

Sounds to me like YOU were sillier than THEY were - sure, you get whacked for $20 shipping for 20 buckets. Lesseeeeeee, that makes it a whopping $60 for 20 buckets. Ooooh, $3/ea instead of $2/ea. Pretty silly to pass that up for the principal, (...) (24 years ago, 1-Dec-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
