Yeah, I remember seeing that Amazon was putting small percentage off items to make sure they dropped below free shipping charges as well. Basically if it was going to cost them $5 to ship it, and it was only $3 over, they'd give you $3.01 off in a sale to get it under.
Edit: The Converse website isn't as scummy as Journeys, I ordered from them. They had 15% of your first order. With rainbow laces it came to $70.72 shipped.
Nope, no option for that. I messed with the site for a decent amount of time to see if I could work the discount to my advantage before jumping to the actual Converse site.

To add insult to injury, there is nothing on the site under $10 to kick the total over $75 and actually save some money. I fucking hate corporations.

They know. They did this on purpose.

It should be $68, $72 may actually be after tax. Not 100% sure.
Update: They were $70.72 shipped.

Tis the time of ripoffs, just as our glorious leader intended.

What were you expecting?

Honestly a pair of laces to kick the price up, that's what we used to do in this situation. But now they don't list laces online.
