National Pet Pharmacy - $4.95 Shipping Glitch Fixed

[youbeyouibei]

But lets hope the Auto Ship feature stays in affect...

x2! Hopefully they leave that alone...and maybe that's what they're hoping people will do. I could see how it would cut down on the costs on their end: they're paying their staff the same regardless, so it makes sense that it would be easier logistically and financially for them to want to steer people toward having a fixed time frame so they could predict their orders. Saves on fuel costs to transport stuff in if they get a run on rat feed, lmao! Wonder if that ever happens...hahahahaha! I know mine breed like crazy but I can't imagine they get slammed with orders too often...I dunno. Hopefully they leave it alone and that's that.

Use code NOV15 to get 15% off your order.

I can't find where to enter that code. It must not be appearing with my login credentials.

OK, had a little time to play with the site today. I logged out and went in like a new customer with no credentials. It gave me a place to enter the NOV15 promotion code, then it took away the free shipping or option for auto ship. So, if you use a promo code, you will have to pay full freight on shipping, which is about as expensive as the food itself. You would be better off just buying it and then auto shipping to get the delivery for free.

I set up for auto-ship once a month. Talking to the lady on the phone, I can change the order at any time, add to it, take stuff off, or get it shipped immediately instead of waiting.

So with all the flexibiilty they allow, I'm comfortable using the auto-ship. As my rat colony grows to a mature colony I can add more food or bedding onto my monthly orders, OR change it to every 2 months or whatever.

If they did remove the auto-ship and didn't have any way to buy without paying the actual frieght/shipping cost, I wouldn't buy from them. The order I made was $58(3 bags of aspen + 1 bag of rat food) and the shipping was $66. FOr double the price like that, I can buy locally when I need stuff, pay the same and even get more food for the price.

So as long as auto-ship/free shipping works, I guess I'll keep using them.

No. I just ordered a 5 pack and the shipping was free. I had to log out to be able to apply the coupon like you did, but after a couple of screens it will allow you to select autoship and automatically adjust the price to reflect free shipping.

I just did the same thing and when the auto ship option came up and I checked it, it eliminated the discount. So, I could get free shipping or the coupon. Check your receipt. The price changed right after selecting auto ship.

Don't know why it doesn't work for me I'd buy ten bags at that price.

I second that!

Okay I don't know if this has to be step by step, but I just tried it again and it worked fine.

Log out, search for the 4018, add the 5 pack, proceed to cart, add the NOV15 promo and hit Apply, type in your zip code and hit Apply, proceed to checkout, log in, check the auto-ship box and change the frequency to whatever.
