The number to plan around is $99, since orders at that total ship free. On a cart close to that line, free shipping can be worth more than a small code.

Return costs and limits
You pay return shipping, original shipping isn't refunded, a 15% restocking fee may apply rarely, and fuel or lithium polymer battery products aren't accepted.
The HobbyTown pages read for this page don't show exactly where the code box sits, so check the cart and the payment step for a promo field before you pay.
Watch the total once the discount lands.
If a code drops an RC order below $99, you may lose free shipping and pay more in total.
Items containing fuel, lithium polymer batteries or other hazardous materials can't be returned, so be sure of those before a code tempts you to add them.
The same goes for parts: a wrong fit means paying return shipping yourself.
More ways to save at HobbyTown
Free shipping at $99 is the standing HobbyTown deal, so pairing a kit with spare parts or a LEGO set can clear it in one order.
Returns cost you here, because return shipping is yours and the original shipping stays with the store.
Check part numbers and compatibility before you buy.
When you do send something back, store credit is an option alongside a refund, which suits you if another kit is already on your liSt.
