I think I have found what may be an anomaly in the VSL discount calculator.
When I check under "registered products" the following products:
Horizon edition solo strings
Horizon edition Vienna harps
...and check under "purchase" the following:
Pro edition performance set
I get the following result:
Pro Edition Performance Set Full Price 2,870 $
Discount on Pro Edition Performance Set for Solo Strings -90 $
Discount on Pro Edition Performance Set for Vienna Harps -45 $
Total: 2,735 $
So the total for all the products is like this:
Hor solo strings 495
Hor harps 295
Pro. ed Performance set 2735
Grand total: 3525
However, when I check under "registered products" the following:
Pro edition Performance set
...and check under "purchase" the following:
Horizon edition solo strings
Horizon edition Vienna harps
I get this result:
Horizon Series Solo Strings Full Price 495 $
Horizon Series Vienna Harps Full Price 295 $
Total: 790 $
So the total for all products is:
Pro. ed. performance set 2870
Hor solo strings 495
Hor harps 295
Grand Total: 3660
In other words, if I bought the Pro ed. performance set before getting the solo strings and harps I have to pay twice for the samples which I already have in the Pro ed. performance set. But, if I buy the solo strings and harps first and then buy the performance set later, I do get a discount for those samples. Surely the order in which you purchase the products should make no difference to the price you pay?
I should add that this is not a purely hypothetical case. I cannot buy all the products I want at one time, so I was thinking of getting the Pro. ed. performance set first, and then the solo strings and harps later. However, it seems that I would be penalized for making my purchases in that order. I would have to pay twice for the same samples! Is this the way it was intended?
