Irrelevant. Regardless of price, they ARE charging you for shipping, even if you don't see it. It's not "free" in any way, shape, or form.
Wrong, if they have the lowest price inlcuding shipping, there is no hidden shipping cost, though it is absorbed somewhere, it is not passed on to me, unlike the situation in discussion.
I'm not attacking, just pointing out that you either don't know what you're talking about, are confused about how economics work, or are intentionally avoiding the facts. I did that only in the interest of furthering the apples-to-apples discussion you said you prefer. Yeah, a guy who works for the government in Michigan, who doesn't have a single EA attachment, is really likely to have a vested interest in EA...right, that makes total sense.
Don't know anything about your jpb, attachment purchases, or motivation, just that you jumped on and insulted my knowledge base and motivations. However, since you admit later in this post that you are picking up your EA attachment, perhaps the defensive tone in your posts has now been explained.
If they were "secret" you couldn't find those prices out with just an e-mail, or a phone call. Unpublished, or unadvertised would fit, but not secret.
They aren't published, unlike their claim of "free" shipping. At least on the Sweet website, you can look up the difference.
You said some things that were true, I just pointed out those that weren't. Facts are facts, economics are economics, and whether you like a policy or not is an opinion. I didn't say anything about the opinions.
As best as I can u derstand, I simply related the facts, and nothing but.
It is clear that what they offer is a posted price with shipping included, not the free shipping they advertised.
I will have a great day...I'm hoping to pick up my first EA attachment at the freight terminal today :drink:
