I purchased a groupon for 10 personalized notebooks thinking this would be a great gift for my nieces and nephews at Christmas. I paid $40 for the groupon, and yes it does say 'shipping not included' but there is a link you can go to their site and it shows 'USPS standard shipping' - so any logical person thinks. $5-$15 within the US for a few small notebooks to ship. No way - they charged $60 just for STANDARD shipping with no cheaper option. Almost 2x the Groupon price. I contacted the company and they said 'there is a handling and packaging charge per item' which I explained is not written ANYWHERE on their site or within the groupon. The customer service person pretty much said too bad so sad.
