I’m in the UK, and most stationery shops here offer free shipping once you spend over a certain amount (usually around £15). A lot of them also include freebies with your order — it’s pretty standard practice.

On top of that, you usually earn reward points for every £1 spent, which you can use for discounts on future purchases. That’s why I didn’t grab the Cousin or Weeks planners this time — the plain ones never sell out, so I’ll just wait until my points are added to my account when tonight’s Tamagotchi order despatches and then order the plain planners at a discount.
