Recently, I decided to add a tourniquet to my tech short pocket and thought, why not support DAN?

I found the thing and quickly concluded the purchase using Apple Pay. The tourniquet is $29.

I was more than surprised to receive an Apple Pay confirmation for $49+! Over $20 for shipping a several ounce item via FedEx Ground.

Unconscionable, in my opinion.

DAN now knows not to expect further orders or donations.
 
The very next step after adding the item to cart and entering your info is selecting shipping method with shipping costs listed. The costs are consistent with shipping quotes I get from Fedex directly. Not exactly sure how this is DAN's fault that you didn't realize things cost money to ship.

edited to add: Only because you said Apply Pay, I added the item to my card on my phone and I do have "express checkout" options vs filling my info in. I'm not about to click it and complete and order. If there's no "confirmation" after clicking apple pay with the total charge, that's an Apple problem, not DAN's. DAN still says "shipping will be calculated at checkout"
 
One, I can certainly do without the snarky insult.

Two, I use FedEx quite often and have never paid $20 to ship a 4-5 oz small package by ground.

Three, if you’ve ever used Apple Pay, you often bypass shipping selection.

Four, as I said, it’s my fault for not checking. Doesn’t negate the fact that in today’s competitive market, exorbitant shipping isn’t the smartest.

Thanks for playing.
