Sonos has this Pop up when getting on the forum offering free shipping on purchases. Does anyone in the forum actually believe you’re getting free shipping?

    @Dogdad .  Of course we all know that the cost of shipping has to be met from tbe price paid. Sonos' direct sales are entirely by courier. The purpose of stating "free shipping" is to confirm that the retail price is what tbe customer pays, and nothing more, for comparison with retail outlets. It is a common market practice.

    Do you think Sonos is trying to hoodwink everybody into believing it has discovered a cost--free method of moving physical goods between States or countries? Up my Beam, Scotty? Of course not. "Free shipping" is a statement about price, not cost. 

    So yes, I believe I am getting "free shipping" with the established meaning of "no explicit additional charge". And I also believe that whether I buy direct from Sonos or from a retailer, the costs of distribution, like other costs, are loaded into the price.

    Your attempts to find bricks to throw at Sonos are looking increasingly desperate, ridiculous and pathetic.

    The pretzel logic in the OP is the silliest thing I’ve read on here since the S1/S2 split was compared to Brexit.

    You clearly haven't read any of @Dogdad 's other contributions.

    Buy One, Get One...included?  Because the second one isn’t really free.
