Are you guys really arguing about 8 bucks (a couple of big mac's) for a
great selection
of plants?

Talk about bottom sucking scum dwellers.

Geez.

Seems to me that this is NOT TRUE.

Priority Mail shipping rules have changed. It's no longer $3 or $4 to
anywhere
in the country.

I just looked at the chart.

Priority for 1 pound and below IS $3.85 NATIONWIDE(used to be $3.50). In
excess of
1lbs, the difference for different zone gets greater the heavier the
package. At
five pounds, local shipment is $5.85, coast to coast is $12.15

It costs more depending on distance. I'm in NY, and shipping
a box of plants to the south or to the West coast costs $8 or more more
(depending on weight).

I have done some transactions online and when people use fixed rate S&H,
there is
always a thought of profit in it and I don't think the word "free" is just
here.

People with real interest in charging nothing would say "you pay shipping
by xxx
method for xxx weight from zip code #####" + $## handling fee. And if
handling fee
significantly exceeds actual cost, it constitutes as profit.

Profit from overcharging shipping and imposing handling fee is a major
source of
revenue for a lot of eBayers and online retailers believe it or not.


I'm curious what the package weight for 12 plants is.
