Half.com purchase/coupon problem

I placed an order for 3 books at half.com using a $5.00 off $20.00 coupon. Today, I recieved an e-mail that one of the books had been canceled by the seller because he no longer had it. This will drop me below the $20.00. Will they try to charge me $5.00 more now? If so, how the heck do I contact them? I can only find links to FAQs at the web site.

My experience is if that happens, the coupon still applies.

yeah...they'll probably give the coupon to you, even though you didn't meet the requirements

Something similar happened to me a while back. I used a coupon with an order, was charged, but didn't receive one of the items. I got a refund for the missing item, plus shipping both ways, and the coupon still applied even though it kicked down below the coupon minimum.

Is shipping included in the $20 you must spend to get the coupon, or only the actual item price before shipping?

Never mind. I just tried the coupon. The $20 has to be the total before shipping.

A quick update on this. One of the two remaining books has already shipped, but Half canceled the other one because the seller never responded. So now the $5.00 off $20.00 coupon is a $5.00 off $7.75 coupon. As long as the coupon still applies, I'm not complaining. :-)
