Paragon Sports currently highlights Free Shipping on orders over $90 as the lead offer, and that is best if you plan to spend $90 or more and want to avoid a shipping charge. The free shipping offer cannot be used with any other offers, so use it when your cart reaches $90 and you do not need any other discount.
Small spend under $45: if this is your first order, sign up for the newsletter to get 15% off your first order. For example, on a $40 purchase, the 15% first order discount takes $6 off, so you pay $34. Offer: 15% off first order via newsletter signup (new customers only).
Cart between $45 and $69.99: midlayers start from $45, so if you are buying a full price midlayer and you are a first time customer, the 15% newsletter saving often beats no discount. For example, on a $60 midlayer, 15% off reduces the price by $9 to $51. Offer: 15% off first order on eligible full price items.
Cart $70 to $89.99: outdoor hiking footwear starts from $70, so if buying a qualifying pair at $70 to $89.99, compare the item price to any sale price. If the style is full price and you are new, the 15% newsletter discount applies. If the footwear is on sale with a discount, the sale price may be lower than the newsletter price, see the worked sale example below. Offers: 15% first order or sale price where applicable.
Cart $90 and over: use Free Shipping Order Over $90 when you want to avoid a shipping charge and do not need another offer, because the free shipping terms state it cannot be used with any other offers. If the items you are buying are sale styles with a marked down price up to 56% off, the sale price can still give a bigger saving on the item itself than shipping avoidance alone. For example, on a $120 basket made up of sale items at 56% off, the 56% percent discount reduces the price by $67.20 to $52.80, while the free shipping saves only the shipping cost and cannot be stacked with that sale per the free shipping terms. Offers: Free shipping on orders $90 or more (cannot be used with other offers); up to 56% off on sale styles (sale applies to marked items only).
Buying sale styles: if the item is a sale style, the sale price applies and is often the biggest saving. For example, on a $100 sale item reduced by 56%, the price becomes $44, a $56 saving. Offer: up to 56% off sale styles (sales only apply to selected items).
Choose the offer that leaves you with the lower total. If the item is on sale, check the sale price first because the up to 56% off sale can give a much larger reduction on the item than the 15% first order or free shipping. If you are a new customer buying full price items under $90, the 15% newsletter discount usually gives the bigger saving. Remember the free shipping deal cannot be used with any other offers, so use it only when avoiding a shipping charge on a $90 plus cart saves more than the other available discount on the items you are buying.
