Someone explain this to me. (Amazon)
I've been in a squabble with Amazon the last couple of days over this order. Why am I being charged $3.97? Why is there a different order total at the bottom? They can't seem to answer my question.

Their accounting system is screwed up. That happened to me a few times and was never charged the extra amount.
Watch to see if the actual charge shows up.

It looks to me like the system thought your order didn't qualify for free super saver shipping because the total was 0 after the gift certificate was applied. If that makes any sense...

That's what I kinda thought. I emailed them numerous times about it and they gave me this standard form letter answer.
It's not a big deal really, but it's just the principal of the whole thing.

I have so many items on my wish list, yet not enough money to satisfy my wishes.
