When are coupons not worth your time?
I’m embarrassed to say how long I spent trying to get a coupon to work online. Was it worth it? Probably not, but I really wanted the product.
I rarely pay full price or full shipping costs when I place an order online. Last night, I found an offer for 20 holiday photo cards for only 20 cents. I couldn’t pass that deal up. I spent probably an hour or so choosing the card I wanted. I then went to the check out and the coupon wouldn’t work. It was late, so I gave up and went to bed. I was back on the computer this morning at 6 a.m. I looked through the website and really couldn’t find good details about the coupon. I tried it again and still it wouldn’t work. I then decided that you probably have to order more than one order. Nope, that didn’t work. I thought maybe it was just certain cards. Nope, that wasn’t it. I clicked on their online chat. Wait time was 30 minutes. I didn’t want to wait that long. At 8 a.m., I finally figured it out. You have to have the order shipped to your house and not picked up at the store. I finally placed my order for 20 cards and the final cost was $6.45. It’s still a great price and I’m fine with it being delivered to me. I hope I ordered the cards I wanted after all that time. I tried so many different combinations that once I finally got it to work, I hit order. I didn’t want to go through that again.
