    "It started off innocently enough. I stumbled across this cool feature on Amazon to get free fabric and carpet swatches and thought 'these would make a neat cat scratcher and they're free so..."'

    "They are not small. At this point I'm panicking and my boyfriend stepped in to get them all unwrapped. The cats are super interested and I'm laughing hysterically out of nervousness that my future husband might realize I'm a psychopath and leave me."

    It is $0.00 with free shipping. Now I know what you're thinking: what's the catch? Well aside from being the most hated delivery stop in all of Duval county, there are some very small snags. Very small. 

    There is a limit to how many you can put in your cart at a time, and some are 'add on items' meaning they only ship free if you make a minimum purchase. Some sellers will stop you from getting more than one identical swatch.  

    That's really it. Most ship relatively quickly, too.
