Couldn't I just pay .01 for shipping? Of course not, it was $10 or $15- I don't remember exactly. I surfed their site for a long time trying to find something else that we could use, just to get the free shipping. I finally noticed they had a clearance section and found a Denver Broncos bobblehead doll on sale for $1.50, so I bought that. My little Clinton Portis doll is still on my shelf with other Broncos collectibles and I can't help but think of the reason I own it every time I see it! 3 years ago at Christmas, I went to a sporting goods site to buy my daughter a softball bat for $74.99 and got the message that they offered free shipping for orders over $75.00!
