I stand corrected. I looked on their description page, and nothing was
written about extra shipping costs. This is not consistient with their
site, as I've seen notes about extra shipping costs on wooden stands right
on the description page.

The information about shipping costs is noted when you add some flourite to
your shopping cart. On the checkout page, it says, actual shipping costs
based on weight. As this is the case, you probably will not save much by
ordering online or mail order vs. at your LFS. Depending on how much you
buy, your LFS may cut you a deal. It doesn't hurt to ask.

http://www.bigalsonline.com has flourite 15.4 lb (7 kg) bags for $11.99
Shipping is $5.95 for up to $35.00, $6.95 for up to $50.00, $7.95 for up
to
$75.00 I've purchased a filter and powerhead from them before. I was
happy
with the service. They ship out of Niagara Falls, NY for U.S. based
orders.
I live in NY, and surprisingly, wasn't charged tax. I assume that all
orders from the US are not taxed, because they are a chain store out of
Canada. Hope this helps.

I think they have a different shipping rate for Flourite. The standard
shipping rate may not apply for Flourite. They add extra at the end.
Someone correct me if I am wrong. Anyway I sent mail to customer support.
