did that 20% less include the shipping for amzn?

Skeeter,

Here is the deal:

AMZN (my actual purchase)
1. Cherry Poppin Daddies: $11.99
2. Big Bad Voodoo Daddies: $11.99
3. Shipping Overnite: $ 8.00
TOTAL: $31.98

Best Buy (what I could have purchased)
1. Cherry Poppin Daddies: $ 9.98
2. Big Bad Voodoo Daddies: $ 9.98
3. Tax: $ 1.40
TOTAL: $21.36

I happened to be in Best Buy just 1 day after I received the AMZN
shipment. Had I known I would be paying an extra $10 (50% more) for
the privilege of buying from AMZN, I never would have done so.

Frankly, having nothing to do with being a bull or a bear, I'm
still pretty upset about how this worked out.
