The Gap Factory website seems to advertise a great deal on one pair of pants, but doesn't make it clear that those pants are on backorder and probably will not be shipped to you for 7-8 weeks. This author found that out recently when I stumbled on the Gap Factory outlet website and couldn't believe my eyes when I noticed soft black colored khakis on sale for just $9.97 a pair. A shockingly low price considering the next cheapest pair of men's pants available on that website were $39.99. It doesn't take a lot of poking around on the Gap Factory website to learn the real reason why those pants are so cheap. They offer free shipping for any order over $50, so to really get a deal on those pants without having to pay twice as much with shipping included you need to spend at least $41 more. Since many items are priced at $39.99 that means you'll probably have to buy 2 additional items. Despite that you'll likely remain a happy customer until you've received everything you ordered except the cheap pants. Then you'll lookup your order online to find that you'll have to wait at least a month for them just to ship the damn things.

Just got an email from Gap saying they were forced to cancel the order due to lack of inventory. If they lacked the inventory they never should have let me purchase it in the first place. Clearly they do this to scam customers into thinking they are getting a deal, but that they will have to buy something else to get the free shipping which due to the low price here still looks like a great deal. However, in the end you end up with more higher priced items and no deal. Easily worth it to Gap since way more people buy more than just the item they use to bait you.
