    Shipping

    How about free shipping over $49. My coffee vendor and others I deal with have free shipping over $49.

    Shipping is a killer and you get big discounts from your chosen shipper, like every other business, so why try to make money off your customers from shipping.

    We had great deals from FedEx which brought down the cost by ~half and we probably did not ship the quantity you do.

    They have tons of sales with either flat rate or free over a certain amount. If you live in FL the threshold is $95. (Which is easy for me to hit! )

    I live in Hawaii. Shipping prices definitely impact my purchase decisions. Case in point, I tried to order one of Mike Phillips' books from a third party vendor on Amazon only to find shipping was more than the cover price of the book.

    Re: Shipping

    You could try calling your order in and asking if they could work a deal on shipping

    Not everyone is of the mindset that they have to or want to haggle everything - especially something like shipping. This place isn't Craigslist is it?. So what happens is many go to the place that offers the lowest total price. Unfortunately many times it's not a PBMG site. And while the sales are nice? I'm not holding an order to see what this weeks concoction of a price + shipping + free gift + treat for your dog is.

    For some...Yes, it does.
    Always has been: at least since 2006.
