You know, GW is not the only retailer that tries to get one over on you. Many Amazon vendors display a discounted price and then over charge you on shipping.... in this case to the point that it would actually cost MORE than buying from GW directly!

Actually, it's still a couple bucks cheaper than retail after taxes but why bother? I don't buy from Amazon vendors if I can avoid it.

Depends WHAT your ordering as well, few months back they were doing DW starters for about £10-15 cheaper IIRC without the postage bite.

Many yes some not really. Heck my members get 25% off with free shipping over $25 but i have dealt with guys who charge $10-$15 and you only pay two bucks foe the item.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

That price is right around retail in the US. Not all online retailers are going to give you the 25% off you're looking for. Luckily there are two or three that do. I think the OP has a gift card from Xmas that he's trying to get the most of. I know I do. Kinda sucks, but it's better than using my own money.

Totally true. In the US that box of minis will fit in a USPS Priority Mail box and go anywhere in the US for $4.95.
