F/S *** MICHELIN TUBES ***

(CritUSA) said:

Michelin Service Course A1 Tubes
BRAND NEW
700 x 18/23
36mm or 52mm valve stems

$3.99 each + shipping charges
FIVE TUBES for $26.25 & FREE SHIPPING
TEN TUBES for $48.50 & FREE SHIPPING
TWENTY TUBES for $85.65 & FREE SHIPPING

Does this make any sense? $3.99 each plus shipping, so five tubes at
$3.99 each is $19.95. At this rate, the "FREE SHIPPING" for five tubes
costs $6.30. The "FREE SHIPPING" for ten tubes costs $8.60. For twenty
tubes it's $5.85.

Does this smack of false advertising?

No, he's just charging you more per tube when you buy in quantity!

I don't see anything false about the advertising either. The deal is clearly
stated, take it or leave it.

It might be a bit misleading, but that's only because people assume that
they will get a better price if they buy in quantity, which is not
necessarily true. I've seen the exact same kind of thing at other
stores, both online and "brick-and-mortar" stores which deliver. It's
up to you to do the math to see the final per-tube price you're paying
when you include shipping. It certainly doesn't rise to the level of
the legal definition of "false advertising".
