how are you suppose to get free shipping if they only post 2 items in 24 hour period?

Due to the fact that they are now placing limits on the items, but letting you place multiple orders, if you place 2 orders for the first item, then you would get free shipping on the 2nd item. TF has made quite a few of us unhappy by separating out the shipping and telling us that it would benefit those of us who buy multiples of the same item, but shortly after adding limits to how many you could order.

I agree that I am seeing an issue with getting free shipping, since they aren't posting more than a few items on most days. (Some days it works out) but that's not even my biggest gripe about shipping lately. It seems as though orders placed over a several day span are all being shipped together. Last week I had a box come, that when added up, I paid $21 in shipping, and it was all shipped together. I do understand that it's better for the environment, so don't jump on me there, but if I order on Monday, I don't want to wait til several days worth of orders are passed and then have it all lumped together. It doesn't really seem fair to me. If the only opinions that matter are everyone else's, do you ever really have one of your own?

The fiasco with the mystery box, the crap on the forums about it --none of that was enough to make me consider leaving ThingFling, but these shipping issues just might. I thought about it, and if I ordered one small item every day one week, I would wind up with a huge shipping fee only to most likely have them all in one box, and I just think it's something that is going to really grate on my nerves in the long run. If the only opinions that matter are everyone else's, do you ever really have one of your own?

Thanks for the replys I don't think they are clear enough in their description of how it works. And shipping costs are always a big factor in "if" I purchase something online so, it will have to be cost efficient or else I will just take my shopping elsewhere.
