Attempted online purchase. New math?

I've never claimed to be overly smart, especially when math is involved, but um...

Glad I noticed.

Jeggs website.

40.48
58.52
--------
99.00

One would assume free shipping with orders over $99 ?

Yes, Jegs has free shipping for orders $99 and over... says so right at the top of the webpage.

Shipping doesn't count towards the total.

Um …
I believe the question is does $40.48 + $11.99 really equal $64.46?

That’s what I would be concerned about, not the shipping.

What Sigfreund said. New math would change the problem to 40.50+12.00-.03=52.50-.03=52.47.

Seems like they charged you double shipping fee (2 x 11.99)?

As you can tell, I normally order enough to get free shipping.

Handicapped...

..as in, incase your handicap is you can't do math.

Just for the heck of it I put the same two items in the shopping cart again today, and this time it comes out right.
