**Title:** *Shopping Smarter on Poshmark: When Do Discounts Include Shipping Costs?*

Have you ever eagerly applied a $10 off $30 offer on Poshmark, only to realize at checkout that your total is still higher than expected? Chances are, shipping costs might be why. Today, we’ll tackle a common question: *Does the minimum spending threshold for Poshmark offers include shipping?* Let’s break it down to save you time, money, and confusion.

### **The Basics: How Poshmark Offers Work**
Poshmark offers (like “$10 off when you spend $30”) are designed to encourage shopping. But here’s the catch: **the minimum purchase amount required for discounts (e.g., $30) refers *only to the price of items**, not including shipping.**

In other words:
– **Item total**: This is the value of the clothing, accessories, or products you’re buying.
– **Shipping cost**: The seller’s fee for delivery is added on top.

So, to qualify for the $10 discount, your **items alone** must reach the minimum amount (e.g., $30). Shipping *never counts toward the discount’s threshold*, but the discount is applied to the **total order**, including shipping. Let’s clarify this with examples.

### **Let’s Do the Math: Example Scenarios**

#### **Example 1: Successful Discount Application**
– **Items cost**: $35
– **Shipping cost**: $6
– **Item total ($35) meets the $30 requirement → Discount applies!**
– **Final total**: $35 + $6 = $41. After the $10 discount? **$31**.

#### **Example 2: When the Discount Doesn’t Apply**
– **Items cost**: $25
– **Shipping cost**: $8
– **Item total ($25) doesn’t meet the $30 minimum → Discount won’t applied.**
– **Final total**: $25 + $8 = $33 (no discount).

#### **Another Common Misconception**
Some users think if their **total order (items + shipping)** exceeds $30, the discount applies—but that’s not the case! Only the item total matters.

### **Tips to Maximize Your Savings**
1. **Add more items to hit the minimum**
If your cart is at $28 for items, browse a few more listings to reach $30. Sellers often add small items (like a $2 accessory) to help you qualify!

2. **Ask sellers for flexible pricing**
Messaging a seller to reduce their shipping cost or bundle items might make the math work.

3. **Combine orders from the same seller**
Shipping fees are often cheaper or free if you buy multiple items from one seller.

### **Why This Matters: Shipping Can Trip You Up**
Since Poshmark sellers set their own shipping rates, your total could jump unexpectedly. Always check the cart summary before checkout to confirm:
– Does the discount *appear* on the page?
– What’s the final price after discounts and shipping?

### **FAQs**
**Q: What if the item’s price is exactly the discount threshold?**
A: Yes! $30 in items + shipping = a valid discount.

**Q: Do bundle deals count toward the minimum?**
A: Yes—if the combined item prices hit $30.

**Q: Can I get free shipping with the discount?**
A: While Poshmark’s app sometimes offers “Free Shipping Days,” you’ll still need to spend $30+ on items to trigger the $10 discount.

### **Final Tips for Poshmark Shoppers**
