General rule: Free items are limited one per order and one order per customer. Any exception will be specified on the item post. Because of that, if you are placing an order and for some reason the system says you're over the limit, it's because we already reserved that quantity for you on a previous attempt to order that same product and the system may take up to 20 minutes to drop the hold.
We apologize for this inconvenience. In this case, you can either try back after 20 minutes or go into your account page(My Flings) and cancel the hold (it will be listed as an unpaid order).
We hope you can enjoy this and any other FREE ITEMS coming up!!
Thanks for your comments guys
However, unless I'm mistaken, which may be the case (although I doubt it), don't you usually allow one order with $6 S/H and a second with $4 S/H? And, does this not contradict your "rule."
You edit (often poorly) copy for every item anyway. Why not add, when applicable, the following:
LIMIT ONE PER ORDER, ONLY ONE ORDER PER CUSTOMER!
or
LIMIT ONE PER ORDER, TWO ORDERS PER CUSTOMER!
It wouldn't be that hard, it would clarify things for newbies and serve as a reminder for us older folk who are starting to forget more often.
The list was getting too long to continue to provide details: 30 flings flung - 16 of them mysteries
