Monoprice WeatherProof Hard Cases Sale
The Monoprice website is having a end of year sale, a big trend this time of the year 😉 Monoprice stopped carrying lenses and such a few years ago, but they still have some camera-related items and their Weatherproof Hard Cases are part of the sales that including free standard US shipping.
Free standard US shipping is not to be taken for granted at the Monoprice website, because unlike Amazon and Walmart they can’t have ultra-favorable shipping contracts with UPS/FedEx/USPS nor create their own delivery service or delivery airplanes 🙂

Last but not least at the Amazon Holiday Dash they have yet another Anker sale (powerbanks, cables, etc) and for coffee machine fans, they have a couple of Nespresso with Milk Frother and Capsules kits for $120.

In addition to the many cables, this AmazonBasics sale that is part of the Amazon Germany Thursday 12/26/19 Gold Box deals of the day includes a camera bag, the new condition AmazonBasics Camera Shoulder Bag going for 15.50 euro with up to three per customer at the sale price.

The times they are a-changing, you can get it for almost half price in Europe. But the shipping weight (nearly 1 kilo, around 2 lbs) and customs probably kill the deal for trans-atlantic flights.
Last Call: Use the 10% off Zappos settlement coupon (aka Bag the Designer Camera Bags)
Most of the settlements that involve money amounts going to consumers end up going mostly to lawyers and the rest probably unused because few people want to bother with paperwork for a few pennies of a settlement. So Zappos tried something different, and self-serving too, instead of giving moneyback, they are offering a 10% off coupon to those affected by the settlement. But the coupon must needs be used by 12/31/19, so this is your last call/reminder…
You will not find cameras and lenses there, but, this being a style/fashion company, you will find designer camera bags. The search there shows camera bags from J.Crew, Coach, Burch, Burton, Kipling, Chloe, Timbuk2, Topo straps and more. As usual, price-check and check reviews of items you are not familiar with…
The one-time use settlement coupon is included in emails you receive from Zappos with the title “Settlement Notification re: 2012 Security Incident”. Seven years later! Instructions on how to enter the coupon on the web or in the app are included in their email…

PS: speaking of deals, retailers often (ab)use the “Christmas in July” theme but once in a while a “Christmas in July” sale-a-bration is “Christmas canon” (as Comic Con canon-obsessed fans like to say). Such is the case with this Monoprice sale which is full of Christmas lights and ornaments and stockings and stocking stuffers 🙂
