Add the details of the $14.99 flat rate shipping charge in the title please.
It does not vary. Otherwise, the title's pricing is not accurate or transparent. It would be a different situation if shipping charges varied. Then you would still need to add "+ Shipping" to the title. I am surprised you left it out. You did not even bold it in your post body.
===========================

Caution: I cannot be certain if there is an open RAM slot, but this has some or all of its RAM soldered.
8GB would be less than I would prefer. I looked this model up on Acer and Youtube and could not find an exact match on YT, and not finding the info on Acer's site.

Your opinion may vary on the minimum RAM you want/need. I would be much more inclined to try this if I could add an additional stick of 8GB, for 16GB total, or even if I had to replace one of 2 4GB sticks that is not soldered, with an 8GB or 16GB stick.

Everything does not need to be in the title.

It's LPDDR5, so it's all soldered down.

Well, you may not like to be warned of the actual price in your deal alerts. But it's part of the price which is like clickbait without the mandatory flat rate $14.99 explained in the title which is all we can see until clicking into the deal. So you are not a very slick dealer if you don't agree. But you enjoy your day.Wink

Repped!
I am not a slick dealer if I don't agree with you? That's not how it works.
It's not clickbait. It is available for purchase at some stores.

If you do not agree that transparency in price is important to you, and especially form staff postings, you are not a very slick dealer. Your bar is too low.

It's your business to decide how much info you find acceptable. But if you honestly think it's fine to be fooled when you click on deals with the price in the title only to find out you have to add shipping to that which is baked into the price, especially if it is flat rate, your expectations for knowing the price before clicking in are too low. I can keep explaining this to you but I cannot change your mind. You do you and stay semi-slick if you insist. vomit
Comical. It's $15 not $50. If you have to attack someone it generally means you are in the wrong.

You attacked me. Saying "Everything does not have to be in the title" in direct reply to my complaint about the hidden $14.99 mandatory shipping needing to be in the title. I am saying you could be slicker. You are not concerned with $15? Most of us are. All I am saying is this is not proper form for a title to leave out manadatory charges. My opinion of anyone who thinks that is unimportant is they could stand to be more price-conscious. But again. now that you understand me and still disagree, Stay as slick as you prefer to be.

What do you think they mean by slick deal? It means great value. So part of the value is obviously price. When you know the price you need to divulge it in the title. Part of this price is $14.99 shipping/handling for everyone. I don't get why $15 means nothing to you, but I don't agree. That's why I say you are not as slick a dealer as you could be. It is not an attack. It is a rebuttal. The price is supposed to be disclosed in the title including whether there is shipping and if flat, the amount. This is normal procedure, not special unnecessary information.
I am beginning to think you are just messing around with me.
It was a statement. Not an attack. Get over yourself.

Sincere question.

How would you rewrite this title to cover situations like:
1. It is available in-store at the price the OP posted, and
2. It is available for shipping to his location for $14.99, and
3. It may be available for shipping to other locations for who knows how much (impossible to know without putting in a bunch of zip codes)

You cried attack first when you came directly at my post. Strange. Then called my rebuttal an attack. Why blame me for my opinion of anyone who thinks $15 is insignificant here on SD? They should be concerned with it, in my opinion. So Saying I think of your attitude as not very slick is just my opinion. Not an attack. Get over yourself. You keep deflecting. Just either waste your time on false pricing posts and not give a darn, or admit it matters. I don't care what you do because you are not the OP. I do know if this deal gets to FP, they will add it. Bet!

I can only assume this is a parody account. Well played my friend.

Sure. The same way FP deal editors would. NOTE: You asked about variable shipping required based on where it is shipped to. Not this situation.

Title as it is now:

Costco Members: Acer Aspire 5 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop - 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H - FHD (1920 x 1080) Display - Windows 11 $379.99

Note: An issue with Costco warehouse prices: Some regions and even individual warehouses can vary in their pricing from online prices as well as in-warehouse prices. That can make in-warehouse pricing tough or impossible to advertise here unless it is specifically priced in their ads. That is one reason Costco. com does not specify that in some of their ads as well. I was recently reminded of that fact.

To fulfill your stipulations:

Costco Members: Acer Aspire 5 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop - 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13420H - 8GB Soldered RAM, - FHD (1920 x 1080) Display - Windows 11 $379.99 Plus Shipping, Check your local warehouse for availability and pricing, as it may vary


So "Plus Shipping" is how the deals get phrased here if there is a mandatory, but variable shipping charge required. It is the best SD can do and is part of the important title information. Just knowing you will need to add shipping prepares you when reading the title to expect some additional fee.

For flat shipping (as in this case), just add that specific cost before the word shipping.

I threw in the RAM detail because as one poster suggested, everyone wants to know that right off the top and I don't blame them.
That might be short of mandatory, but it is very important for laptops and PCs.

Folks wanting to check their warehouses can get the SKU from the product web page and look up their warehouse phone numbers for a stock and price check. That is common knowledge for Costco deals but since you asked about this situation, I only mention it in case you were wondering how to do so. Deal posters including FP deal editors do not put that anywhere. They expect us to work that out for such YMMV pricing in-store deals.

I do see some laptop deal posts that have much less specs info. Most have at least this much or more in the title. If they gain traction and get promoted to FP, the FP deal editor would expand the title to include many details, if the OP was severely lacking the important stuff. Look up some past and current laptop deals and you will get a good idea of what most posters of them include regularly.
