So, I found these really cute leggings on the Torrid website and decided to order them. They were on sale for $11, so I didn't want to wait until Mom comes down and we go to the actual store and risk them being gone. So, I go and happily add them to my cart. While I'm there I find a shirt that I like, so I add it too. Then I go to check out.
My total? $35.
On the confirmation page I scroll down to make sure everything is okay. What's this? $63! No way that's right. I look around and see that shipping is going to be $28.
WTF??????
I cancel the order and play around for a bit. Even if I get rid of the shirt (my order is now $11) the shipping is $25! What's going on? That's more than double the price of the actual item. The site says that they base shipping cost on the value of the purchase. If that's so, why is it so much more than the purchase price?
My roommate orders clothes online all the time. Her shipping is never that much, even when she has a huge order.The difference between us? I'm plus size, she's not. It seems that, not only do plus size stores like to charge more for their clothes (which are basically the same), they also charge more for shipping. I realize that my order would probably weigh more, but not that much.
Anyway, the point of this post? I didn't get my leggings or my shirt and now I'm sulky. So there.
