I accidentally deleted the email that had the promo code for free shipping – anyone care to clue me in? While I’m at it – are there other promotions they run that folks know of?
thanks,

p.s. the business is www.use-enco.com for the curious – machining and industrial supply house…

someone if FHB-land must have an enco flier lying around, no..? I'm kicking myself for casually deleting the email, lesson learned I guess.
Simple.
Myth is that only some get the code. Makes folks feel special. Most discounts are given to anyone who asks.
Usually if you call their order line and simply request the free shipping they will grant it as a matter of course.
Along the same lines it often pays to ask for a discount. Those discounts are already figured into the cost so they are not losing very little.
Most people don't ask for discounts and so they don't get them. Always ask. Worse case they say no.
interesting - I called yesterday and asked for the code and the clerk said they weren't allowed to give them out - it's nothing I need right away so I'll let it ride for a day or two and see what shows up.
Perhaps this is the rare sale which actually demands a code. A rare beast indeed. If you have any prior business dealings or affiliation you can mention it. These folks got your e-mail so in some way they see you as a potential customer. Enough potential to offer you a substantial discount. If you were to, explaining in the nicest possible way, make it clear you find some mechandise attractive but would be more inclined if they were to offer free shipping, something they have already done but for the unfortuneate deletion of the e-mail, you would like to order immediately.Often better off just asking for free shipping and avoiding the game.The phone drone likely doesn't have the code. Likely the computer only accepts what is stuffed in without offering anthing.If the phone person can't get you free shipping ask for a supervisor or manager. The manager in these situations usually only needs to input their authorization to free up any specials. A freedom not allowed to the phone drones. And, of course, it always pays to be nice about it. Most people who take such calls are so shocked that anyone be nice that not a few are happy to give you any available benefit.
