So true. A long time ago someone on this forum suggested they rename it "Sculpted Buns, Hips and Thighs, and Abs and Abs and Abs..."

The sad part is I was struggling to remember whether the proper grammar would be 'Lying Legs' or 'Laying Legs'!

I'm not certain I'll place an order, but I'm considering it. Can anyone let me know what the shipping cost is? Thanks!
I placed two large orders during the last sale. The shipping charge on the first was $6, and on the second it was $18. Each order had 7 items. I wasn't sure why the difference, but thought the shipping was reasonable either way. I'm in Canada.

(I really wish sites would post shipping charges or have a shipping calculator too!)

LOL!

I am debating replacing all of my classic Firms while Fitness Favorites is having a sale. I have converted them from VHS to DVD myself, but the quality is lacking. I'm also trying to get rid of clutter though, so I'm in a quandary.

Thanks, mtngoat! Hmm, sounds like they might have forgotten to charge you the extra $6 in the first order, so they tacked it onto your second order (regular $6 + $6 Canada add'l + $6 Canada add'l).

Maybe. I certainly don't want to short Fitness Favorites, so I hope it was correct overall. (eta: I looked more closely at my orders: the $6 charge was 4 DVDs and 3 CDs, the $18 charge was 7 DVDs, so the orders weren't identical.)

I thought there was one called "Lie Down and Work Out" but then I wondered if I just imagined that title

I wonder if FF perhaps doesn't make a distinction between DVDs and CDs when charging shipping... Since they mention "All Canadian and UK orders will be charged an additional $6.00," I would think the shipping for your first order would be over $6, regardless of what's in your order. That's why I was thinking that they might've forgotten to charge you the 1st time around.

Okay, I'm done with thinking about their shipping policy. It's too time consuming.

Ok, I'm late to the classic Firm love fest but am quite intrigued lately with all those threads here! I love the other Firm workouts BBS series & pinks, so I'll look into some of the classics.

Just curious, is the deal on Fitness Favorites still going? I tried putting one DVD into the cart and the price remained the same!?..

Val, I think the packs are on sale for half off, not the individual DVDs. I bought the 6 classic pack for $50.59 including shipping. The single DVDs I added didn't come up discounted.

Gotcha, thanks, Julie! I'll have to check out the packs then, *twist my arm*!

ETA: Ok, I caved and got the Classics & Parts collection pack! I'm super excited to get them!!!
Does anyone know how long it takes (Media Mail) to get them? I haven't gotten anything via Media Mail in quite some time and am spoiled by Amazon Prime
