I'd be happy with lower prices with the shipping, but not the same prices with shipping.
Maybe it's just a mess up on this one item.

I flung one back in Feb or March and it’s awesome. I absolutely love it. I had investigated the Kameleon remote last year and when I saw it for $12 I couldn’t resist. It doesn’t have a button for every feature that the original equipment remotes have but what universal remote does for $12.
Hey thingfling this post states it was only $12 beforeShame on you Whats up with thatQuestion Question Question And I'm sure free shippingExclamation


hmmmm
This is going to get a lot of people pissed here. So we are actually getting the price before, just getting added on $6 shipping?


This is what I was afraid was going to happen once the announced the shipping change.

It seems they think the more established members are expendable now since they have built a bigger customer base and now trying to make more $$ from they newer people who don't remember the old prices. But I'm sure we will get a response from this saying, "Oh no, we value our established members"...yadda yadda, but the proof is in the pudding it seems. To me and what I once heard from a member of "The Court" was the one price is it style was what made TF what it is, so why then are you switching over to a new shipping charge? It all just doesn't add up and I can see fewer and fewer Flings being flung. Oh well.

Yes, I understand they have to make a buck but it appears they were making a buck even on the old pricing schedule so now that they have more customers they have make a BIGGER buck? I thought that was NOT TF's style?

I have to agree with previous posters. This just doesn't seem right. Seems that we could have gotten it considerably cheaper before the "plus shipping but better prices" announcement.

I've made comment before about shipping killing deals. TF's 'free shipping' (aka shipping included) made it one of my favorite sites.


This post proves my point on my previous rant post (one of the older flingers I was talking about in the post), Thanks John!! Good to see you around the forums!

Sounds like it to me, and I really don't want to believe it. If they were up front about raising prices by adding shipping, that would have been cool with me. But they hinted that the prices would be lower because of the added shipping that was calculated into the price. Well if that is true, then why is this being sold now at $13.99 or whatever when it was $12 at the first posting(as stated in a post) but now we even have to add on $6 shipping?

Chalk me up as another who would have bought 2 or 3 of these if the pricing had been per the big announcement. I'll keep watching in case it changes! Pray

This really sucks. I found this place like two weeks ago before this whole shipping fiasco and I even bought two things already. Personally I thought this might be a site I would use all the time, but I dont know now. TF is obviosly raising prices and they arent even doing a good job hiding it......

I wish they would have just stuck to thier promise and really lowered prices. The whole shipping multiple Items might have even helped me.
$12 to $20 is a big jump for a new pricing set up that is supposed to help us......

Im more sad that they did this than mad Sad

It's possible they sold out, right? They didn't necessarily have to "pull it" because of the complaints. TF has been good to us in the past so let's not immediately think that this is suspect or shady.

This remote, even at $20, is still a pretty good buy. I was thinking about buying one or two when I saw it in the upcoming queue, but the price plus shipping made me hesitate as I thought that it was posted previously in the $12 to $14 range. Reading through the forums seemed to verify this.

For one item, I expected that price plus shipping would be slightly more than the old all-included price. But, the shipping discount on additional orders would give you the opportunity to save some money. That being said, if the old price was $11.99, I would have expected to see maybe $6.99 or $7.99 plus $6 shipping. But, at $19.99 for one unit we're looking at a 67% price increase.

Who knows, maybe they didn't get such a good deal on another batch of these this time around?
The list was getting too long to continue to provide details: 34 flings flung - 18 of them mysteries

Well written and agree, JohnChod. And in my first post about it vanishing, I DID admit that it might have sold out. If I didn't just get my CENSORED mystery box, I might have been more tempted, even at the higher price.

I do agree with both of you.

Death, we dont think you any malice intended. If it is indeed and oversite, it was big. Lets just hope this new "idea" TF has does not turn "shady".
