As promised, friends and family in the New York City area can now enjoy $6.95 Overnight shipping on cakes, tarts, and pastries from the site. As with our Boston discount, this does you no good at all if you live in Ames, Iowa, unless you know somebody in the area. Between those two cities, that's around 14 million people, so the odds are high that you've got someone special there who would like a dozen croissants for $39.90, including shipping, which is less than Williams-Sonoma charges for just the croissants. Granted, you get three more croissants from them, but you only get to pick one flavor and you pay more. Granted also that Oprah Winfrey loves those Williams-Sonoma croissants, but unless you're Bill Gates or Paul McCartney, Oprah has more money than you do and doesn't care about paying the extra $8.55.
Maybe you know someone in one of those two cities who's celebrating a birthday. We'll send a 10-inch cake that serves 16 people and comes with plates, napkins, forks, candles, and a cake server for $55.90. The "FREE shipping" liars charge $79.99 for a 10-inch cake, and they offer a lot less variety than we do. I'm sure you can think of something you could do with $24, like sending a gift along with the cake, or putting some gas in your car for a summer roadtrip.
