confessions of a penny pincher

So I have really wanted these pair of shoes for awhile through DSW, but they haven't gone on sale, and there were only 2 pairs left. My dilemma was that my item was just 5 cents from their free shipping deal. I wasn't going to buy two items, and I didn't want to pay shipping. What to do?

Just ask!

Gotta love Live Chat!!!

Thanks for being a Shoe Lover! Someone will help you out soon. The estimated wait time is 0 minutes and 19 seconds.

You’re chatting with Micheal, Shoe Lover!

Micheal: Hey Shoe Lover! How may I help you?

You: I am purchasing shoes that are 34.95. Is there any way I can get the free shipping? I hate to pay $7.95 for shipping just because I am five cents off.

Micheal: Sure. If you do not mind placing the order as is, then I can apply the discount code to remove shipping once it drops in to my system.

You: Thanks SO much! I really appreciate this. I will go ahead and place the order. You have a great day!

Micheal: I will need the order number.

You: order number is 60*****80

Micheal: Thank you.

Micheal: Laura Burns?

You: Will I get a second confirmation email, or does this chat work as confirmation?

You: Yes, I'm Laura. :-)

Micheal: This chat will work as confirmation, you should be able to email it to yourself or print it out.

Micheal: Would you please verify your address, Laura?

You: ***** W. Brown Rd

You: *********, OH

Micheal: Thank you.

Micheal: The total has been reduced by $8.55 and the new total is $37.57.

You: WOW. Thank you so much!!!

You: Have a great day!

Micheal: You too, Laura.
