I've was shopping around on the interpipes for some t-shirts/hoodies, and I found NoiseBot, which had some funny shirts on there. A little pricey, but not too bad.
Until I found this at the bottom:
Instead of just automatically giving you free shipping for spending a buttload of money on their site, they require you to enter in a code to get the free shipping. Why?
They're not nice enough to tell you at checkout time that you qualify, for no real good reason. I dunno. I feel like some things should be obvious to merchants, but for some reason, it's not. Even little things like putting the zip code textbox before the "City" and "State" fields, and then automatically filling out the other boxes based on the zip code entered. It shouldn't be hard to do so (and if it is, one of us — the USPS maybe — should set up a simple XML feed to grab that data for our servers to parse it). Enough rant tonight.

Hear, hear! Good points all -- but I especially agree with the City/State/Zip Code issue. Most sites are better about the free shipping stuff, but even major online shops make you enter redundant address information.
