Default Shopping online: saving money may not be saving money

just wanted to give people the heads up on a lil experience i just had when ordering from cabelas. I just ordered a new trolling motor. They did not have it in the store. Since it was a large item with extra shipping charges I opted to do in store pick up to get the free shipping. Well after I calculated it all up I decided to check and see how much I was saving by doing that rather than having it sent to my house. Well I applied the $5 shipping coupon(I am a card club member, the extra $14 still applies on top of the $5 though). Well after they work up the final price, it cost me $50 less to have it shipped to my door rather than spending my time and gas going to pick it up in store to save on shipping. Don't ask me how or why, but I reworked it 2-3 times before I pressed submit. Sure enough my bill was $50 cheaper having it shipped to my house. So, the better deal to save money may actually be costing you more. so beware, things aren't always what they appear.
