Question about Starbucks Store

How often do they have free shipping deals? I read m n c's review of them and finally got around to checking to see if they carry my carmel syrup online and they do. They also have peppermint syrup and a bunch of other ones, so I went to see what shipping was -- 11.99. Ouch!

Any chance of making that a little less painful anytime soon? I don't need it for Christmas, so I can hold out for right now, but I'd like to be able to order before the holiday stuff is gone. Thanks!

I don't know if I've ever seen a free shipping code but it would be awesome to have every now and then. I don't even remember if I noticed the shipping charge and just ignored it or if I saw it and thought it was high.

speaking of starbucks store anyone else not seen credit for a gift card purchase.
