Free Overnight Shipping of an Accesory When I Only Paid for Standard Shipping (not even 2 day)

[DayThyme]

They shipped me an accessory overnight that I ordered at 50% off using the code and only paid the $4 standard shipping on.

How are they going to stay in business with that kind of ridiculousness going on? I know Google is financing them, but come on, I didn't ask for overnight shipping of my 50% off accessory. There was no reason to do that.

Maybe the warehouse is a few miles from your house? At least be thankful that you got it that fast. And then when it's a day late, people start complaining about poor service.

A lot of people got their custom Moto X's way earlier than their original emails suggested, so it's possible the accessories run the same way.

No, I am several states away. They shipped it priority overnight shipping.

I am not complaining but I am concerned about the financial health of Motorola if they don't get control of their business practices. I would prefer that they stay in business as we cannot afford to have Samsung dominate the Android market any more.

That's interesting. I had attempted to order screen protectors that were about $8 after the 50% discount, but the shipping costs would have been about $11, so I passed. I live in California, not all that far from Texas. I would think screen protectors could fit in an envelope with no box necessary, but still the shipping was high. Go figure?!

They did the same for my case that I just ordered on Friday. Perhaps all of this is part of the $500 million that Google is providing to market the device.

it was hard to tell on the site but you had the choice of standard shipping for $4 instead of 2 day for $11. I selected the $4 shipping, yet I got priority overnight shipping!

Hmmm....

I guess I totally missed that. Oh, well. I should have paid closer attention!

I think there are better uses of the money than priority overnight shipping an accessory that the purchaser didn't even ask to be shipped 2 day. Not complaining, just worried about the long term health of the company. I personally want more competitors in the Android phone manufacturer space, not less. We may be losing HTC here soon.

And...? What are we supposed to do about it?

Nothing. Just making conversation. This is a chat board, no?
