$39.95 to join - they charge credit card immediately - random attractive offers in emails on Tuesdays - never in stock. They force you to login every time you pick an item off the "Hotsheet", giving a false impression that it is user delay that is causing tem to miss the opportunity.

There is also a catch in the free shipping - you have 5 (or 8?) shipments free - but under 10Lbs, regardless even if you are buying a .0005lb flash drive, a free shipment will be counted - so is it by weight or number of shipments?. A manufacturer rated 19" LCD TV of 6lbs was $22.00 shipping even with Platinum membership - the packaging better be that good to be at 4lbs.
