I am looking at getting some more Bluetooth earpieces. I am looking for ones that fit very specific criteria. The model I have is one of the few affordable ones that can do it, but it’s hard to find because it was a free magazine give-away for Car and Driver a while back. Anyway, I found some! Only $19.95! But $12 for shipping. So, add three more, still $12 for shipping. Add one more to round it out to five, and shipping is… $600. I kid you not. Try it.
Add one more, shipping is $16.95.
Well, having shipping for five cost $600 is one way of making $17 shipping seem awfully cheap.
My coworkers are going to love this one. Has to be some kind of glitch in their shipping software.
I wonder how many corporate accounts will simply pay this without even reviewing it. And when the bug in the software gets fixed, how many will be refunded.
Testing for software has gone the way of fact-checking for magazine articles.
