Humorous "Free Shipping" Situation at Guitar Center

Sign in to disble this ad
Here's a "generous" free shipping offer from Guitar Center. Good for a chuckle. Note the "small" amount of money I need to add to my order (highlighted in red) to qualify.

Wow! You better go for it! Can you imagine how much it would cost if you bought all that WITHOUT the free shipping offer?

Well, let's see now ... A full recording studio, a few Martins and Custom Shop Fenders, a Rick or two, amps for the whole band, a PA system, some effects, lighting rig....

Dang, I'm still $327,448.23 short! So close!!

I dunno. Seems par for the course for GC. I've seen worse from them.

You need to have the biggest GAS attack imagineable! Does GC sell the U2 360 stage now that their tour is done? That ought to get you there.

So free shipping on an order of a million dollars? Pretty reasonable, IMO. If GC had elephants, I'd buy a whole bunch and get 'em shipped free

If I thought their webmaster would actually read my e-mail, I might try to let him/her know. But nah, it's futile!
They really should advertise this awesome special, too.
