Ship Wheels for Cheap?!?!?!

Hey Guys,

So I usually ship from Staples Do-It Yourself UPS counter. I ship practically everything from here. The manager is cool with me and gave me a suggestion on shipping wheels. So basically you weigh and measure the wheel and put the label on there. When you go and pay...tell the cashier that you forgot the $20 off every $50 you spend" coupon at home. I did it today and bill came out to be at $103.xx.....using the coupons I only paid $43! I was happy! If you guys got questions let me know!

The numbers still don't make sense. Your original post states $20 off every $50 you spend. So you spent $103 which wuld have been $40 off for a total of $63. That is still pretty damn cheap for shipping wheels.

I know what you guys are trying to say but he didn't really care so the $63 is still over $50. So he took off another $20! NJ FTW!

So what you're saying is that you could ship ANYTHING for less than $50 by that logic. You would just continue to take off $20 until the price was under $50.

Anyway, $63 is still a damned good deal.

lots of cars
Ok, here's the math... it's $103 right, and you take $20 off each $50 purchase = $40 - $103 = $63. I guess they felt since it's $63 for the total they could take another $20 off the $63 total so it = $43. In reality, you can only get $40 off.
