Walmart FREE Unlimited Delivery $98 a year but its free (Sarcasm)

[Ron Selzer]

I believe Bert is pointing out the goofy-ness of offering something for free that you have to pay for. One of those technicalities that marketing loves so much. The shipping is free but, the membership to the free-shipping-club is $xx . Cable TV for $39.99 (plus another $40 of service fees, local tariffs, equipment charges etc.) and the like.

I agree, I believe this was posted as satire. not as an add

Agreed, I didn't get the sarcasm, my bad.
Another example is the "get the second one free, just pay separate service and handling fee".

[Stan Calow]

Yep. Goofy, misleading and - effective.

Effective to those that fall for the scam LOL

BOGO, to heck with that, just give me the free one. If I have to buy one to get one free, then that means they are half priced when I buy two. With Amazon prime, it's simplest to have one person in your group, or family have membership. Let them do all the ordering, and have shipped to each member of group as requested.

I often see deals like 0.99 for one and only 1.99 for two shrink wrapped together in a bargain pack.

A co-worker recommended I buy something from Amazon. He also recommended buying a multipack to save money. I checked Amazon and a single tube was $3.99. The multipacks were as high as $8 a tube and none as cheap as just buying single tubes.

I knew this thread was sarcasm from just reading the original thread title before the sarcasm bit was added.

OK, got it, this time I recognize the sarcasm.

For the largest Navel bases read here https://www.naval-technology.com/fea...he-us-4144545/

The Nevada bases do a lot of naval gunfire training and testing and bomb ranges for aircraft. Kinda hard to test 16" guns in built up neighborhoods. I would not want to have 2,000 pound shells flying over my house. They no longer test atomic bombs in Nevada.

I really don't think the Navy test 16" guns in NV these guns are mounted on Battle ships and tested at sea on the ships that are built for them.

[Howard Garner]

The Navy stored 16" barrels in Nevada and Idaho. These needed to be relined very so many shots.
The locations were chosen during WW2 to be far enough away from the coast to be out of canger.

The largest Navy base is in Norfolk Virginia.
There is a Navy firing range in the Atlantic ocean way off the coast of Virginia Beach.
The catapults on all the Nuclear carriers are tested in the James River.
i could probably write a book

I don't know how you folks can live so far from the ocean or even a large river.
The blue dot on the map is SawMill Creek.

I think a better term would be “Unlimited shipping?”
