1-800-4CLOCKS is currently running a 15% off code across its full range of clocks, antiques, jewelry, watches, lamps, and home decor. This code works on any order placed on the website, making it the core offer to consider before looking at category specific sales or the free shipping threshold.
Small baskets under $100. For a quick purchase like a single item under $50, the 15% off code gives you the best saving. On a $40 purchase, for example, the code takes $6 off and leaves you with $34 to pay. The newsletter signup may offer additional discounts, so if you are a first time customer signing up for 1-800-4CLOCKS's emails is worth doing before you shop; you can then apply the 15% code to your cart.
Orders from $100 to around $250. Once your order reaches $100 or more, you get free shipping for all orders over $100 at 1-800-4CLOCKS, which saves you the delivery cost on top of any discount. The 15% off code still applies. On a $150 order, for example, the code brings your total to $127.50 and you pay no shipping. If some of the items you want are in the sale section, check those carefully: the automata and specialty clocks are reduced by up to 33%, and Howard Miller pub and game furnishings by up to 22%. These sale discounts apply to the sale prices, not the full prices, so you need to compare the final totals. A specialty clock marked at $200 with 33% off comes to $134; the 15% code would take that down further to $113.90. The sale markdown may give a bigger saving than the code on that specific item, but you have to apply one or the other, not both, so work out the final price under each before checking out.
Larger baskets above $250. For bigger orders, the combination of the 15% off code plus free shipping on orders over $100 remains strong. If your purchase includes items from the general sale (up to 50% off sale items), compare what you pay under the code against the best sale price the site is offering on each item. The code applies across the full range, while the sales apply only to marked down products, so you are comparing the same final prices: whichever gives the lower total is your answer.
To choose between your options, calculate the final price under the 15% code and under any applicable sale discounts, then use whichever comes out lower.
