Totally. It's a shame that you cannot combine orders after the fact to save on shipping fees. But is what it is at the end of the day. Im still happy with how things played out. Biggest learning is that next time ill limit orders placed. Try to keep to a 1-2 minimum order

While I think it would be great the reality is if they did implement such a feature what would likely happen is people would order everything and tick 'hold off on shipping until end of sale' then cancel causing problems since these sales are important for stock clearing.

I think if a feature like this gets implemented, not sure how, that as they are shipping they realise the could combine shipping and refund the difference to your account as store credit.

Some places I know of locally let you do combined shipping. But also have to be mindful of shipping costs etc - likely you'd face an increase in shipping fee depending on how large of an order you placed so actuality is... my suggestion isn't going to save a lot of money if they did. Just a dream 😅

It's a shame free or reduced shipping isn't part of the sale. That would partially solve the issue.

True, but the places who do combined shipping probably aren't in as unique a position. How I imagine it'd work for some people to exploit it

Day 1: Order EVERYTHING you are remotely interested in and click 'delay shipping to December 12th'
Day 2-12: Add everything from flash sales/restocks to order
Day 12: Remove the stuff, you aren't as interested in to get under budget

The problem is the result of that is AtA has a bunch of restocks of clearance items

Free/reduced shipping is great but the reality is it is a cost the business puts on the user in one form, either transparently as a fee or invisibly by increasing the product price. Combining shipping and giving a AtA credits would have the same effect of reducing shipping costs.

I am fortunate in that I live in the UK so I don't have to pay for international shipping and from my perspective international shipping costs are part and parcel (pun intended) of the situation. If on the other hand I had to pay American and Japanese prices I might not be as happy to lose out on AtA and MVM deals.
