I'm aware of how Amazon works when you pay for shipping but I almost always go supersaver shipping therefore they will usually ship them together and not split them up, which is what I did this time (sometimes there's been exceptions). For anything I can wait for, I refuse to spend that much on shipping when for that amount I can get another item to make it over $25 so it qualifies.. Just the way I roll. Expando & LROOE was different. I splurged and paid for shipping. But as I'm seeing here, the shipping seems to be all over rather you payed for it or went Supersaver.
