I'm looking to order a chair slipcover from Overstock for my poor old chair I use in my bedroom. The material is giving out. Ok, so I find one that looks like it was made just for this chair. Perfect! I'm going to buy it. Put it in my cart, on sale today, and shipping adds $4.99. OK, no problem. I look down lower where they offer all these ways to pay and I see "Add $8.32 for free shipping" WHAT?? Am I stupid for thinking if I pay $12.31 for shipping it isn't free????

Guessing there is a minimum purchase amount for free shipping. Adding another item would eliminate the charges. A lot of places do this now. You can pay the $4.99 or add another item @ $8.32 or more and get free shipping.
