Re: Free Goody Box from Amazon

OK, so I didn't bite on the Kraft box until the first round was over, then almost didn't make it for the second round, got the box and was thrilled to pieces. I'm jumping on this offer!!!

what was so great about the Kraft box? I feel like this is "let's make a deal". It could be a box of styrofoam peanuts.

I need confirmation that it's a value. I'm a cheapo by nature. It could be a big box of beef jerky! Of course I could always recycle and use it as a Christmas gift for someone, but I don't think beef jerky is very personal.

Recent goodies in the Goodie Box have included:
CD wallet from Roxio
Popcorn from Autodesk
Post-It cubes from Apple
Photoshop Album Starter Edition CD from Adobe
But, at free, I figure it's worth the risk. You only need to order a wee bit more stuff to qualify for the free shipping and then there is no risk at all for the box.

Re: Free Goody Box from Amazon

so, you're saying, if I buy $15 worth of other stuff, I could get the beef jerky for free? Cause when I looked, they were going to charge me $15, and I don't need $15 worth of beef jerky.

Re: Free Goody Box from Amazon

Yes. If you buy a book or something to get the order up to $25, the shipping on all of it is free.

You'll just have to pay for the book or whatever it was that you really wanted anyway that bumped the order up over $25.

I LOVED the Kraft box. I'm taking a chance on this one although Amazon has let me down before.

What's wrong with beef jerky? I ain't complainin' if it's free.
I gotta pass on this one, though. I've spent enough already.
Nice to get tips and a pointer to a steal of a deal, though! Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Free Goody Box from Amazon

This offer sounds too ho-hum, luck-o-the-draw for me, and I'm not going to order another $15 just to get free shipping, so I'll pass on this one.

But Wormie! Did you not get the Kraft box? It was *excellent*!

Impersonal beef jerky.

Sorry, I just had to hear that out loud for a second.

Amy is there any way you can block the shop till you drop from my view any time I come to EA?

Every time I see a great deal, like the goodie box, and I am shopping away.

This is getting dangerous!

It must certainly be a "windier" place in Colorado than in Michigan.
