Hey everyone, I have a question about Pile Of Loot. I tried researching for an answer first but turned up empty. Using the search feature on this forum yielded some results that doesn't really answer my question specifically. So I decided to create this post. The BBTS website description about the Pile Of Loot feature makes it sound like it simply is just a virtual storage bin for when you'd want your items held until you're ready to accept them (for instances where you're out of town, for example).
How exactly does it save me money on shipping? I have that feature set to "on" for my account and tried adding items to my cart one at a time. Each item is still being charged the full price of shipping.
Example, I purchased a case of Star Wars action figures for $159.99 with $9.74 FedEx Ground shipping. I check my account details and the order is there. I then shop for my second item, a Play Arts Kai Sephiroth action figure for $149.99. Upon entering checkout for the second item, I am still being charged full price for shipping, $8.99 for FedEx Ground, even with Pile Of Loot turned on. I tried to see if the $8.99 was the Pile Of Loot savings (because it appears to be lower than the $9.74 I was charged for my first item) by logging off and "purchasing" the Play Arts Kai item as a "guest". It still ships for $8.99 regardless of whether I was logged on (with Pile Of Loot) or not.
Where does Pile Of Loot give me the advantage in this case? I hope someone can help me understand what this is and how it works. I have a list of items I am interested in purchasing but the lack of combined shipping discounts makes it difficult for me to commit to one online retailer.
