"Free" delivery on Musicroom.com

Great site for purchasing printed sheet music (if you're into that sort of thing). Here's a handy trick for saving on delivery costs:

I wanted to buy a music book for £14.95. Discovered delivery would be £1.99 as the order value is under the £15 threshold. Total cost now £16.94.

So I added a 50p plectrum to my order. Brought the total cost down to £15.45, and I get a nice plectrum to add to my collection of junk.

It's slightly different from the Amazon Super-saver delivery, in that they offer the same delivery service whether you pay for it or not, ie. first-class same-day dispatch.

Anybody else know of similar techniques for reducing delivery costs?
