Warmth
I almost pulled the trigger to buy two sets of long underwear at Wintersilks to keep me warm when I return to Rustavi, but that company charges shipping based on order price. I dislike this method, as:
I sent an email to the company asking about the shipping charge and received a reply back that talked about other issues, none of which related to mine.
It turns out that Land's End was a friendlier place for me to shop.
Was the product at the first place better? Yes, maybe. But I wasn't willing to pay $18 shipping for it.
A TLG colleague in Gori has been without water for six days. Frozen pipes.
She is happy to be leaving for vacation today, with a hot hostel shower in Tbilisi tonight, before her plane leaves.
Six days. Damn.

- The amount spent has only a limited relationship to the mass or weight of the item(s) to be shipped; and
- The policy punishes customers who spend a lot.
