When you use a coupon on an order that also contains sale items, our store automatically applies the combination of discounts that gives you the lowest total price. This can sometimes make the discounts appear to work differently than you might expect.

For example, if a $30 tea is 20% off, you'll see a $6 sale discount, bringing the tea to $24. If you then use a $10 off $30+ coupon, our store may apply the $10 coupon instead of the 20% sale discount so your order remains above $30. In that case, you would pay $20.00—a better deal than the 20% discount alone.

In this example, if you added another $6 in qualifying products, your order could then meet the $30 minimum coupon requirement even after the 20% sale discount is applied. You would then receive both discounts.

If you'd rather save your coupon for another order and keep the sale discount, you can remove the coupon at checkout.

In short: Our store automatically chooses the discount combination that saves you the most.
