why is shipping being charged on this prime item?

No shipping charge with Prime. I ordered it in Oct., and the price in May is only $2 higher (but Amazon is likely to add sales tax now). Still, other orders for 5 and 10 reams of paper are no longer available thru Prime and the priced has tripled and quadrupled! This seems to be the only reasonbly priced deal left.

March 2015, I see it as Prime item, but at check out it shows Standard Delivery as the only option. Order Friday, guarantee delivery Monday. Strange.

We still sell this on our site for & $8.99 + shipping. Now that the product is fulfilled on Amazon Prime and includes shipping fees which are about $5.44 in total to sell this product and fulfill it/ship it. $12.99 is far better price than we can offer from our site which is & $8.99 + $10 In shipping on amazon it's just $12.99 and includes shipping

If you are needing to purchase items that are only offered with a shipping fee. It would be cheaper for you to purchase the items under the the other offers in the listings that are not Prime eligible as the price of the product is cheaper under these offerings and the shipping fee would be combined for minimal increases in shipping on the items that are not offered under the free Prime shipping. So the cheapest route overall would be to avoid the Prime offerings altogether if you need 2 extra that would involve adding a shipping fee. You will come out cheaper than expected this way anyway.

Are you purchasing from Amazon or purchasing from a third party seller? If you are an Amazon Prime member you should have no shipping charges.

Because it is a Prime item. They have to cover 2nd day air shipping costs. It's a broken box qty so has to be individually packed. Also, since it's compressed aerosol product, it needs special handling and additional shipping charges.

Good question. Another reason to keep paying for Prime, eh? It is available off Amazon...do a search. Better shipping too.

This is currently a 'prime' item, so that means it's on the shelfs in an Amazon warehouse. That also means the current vendor is either Amazon or is using said shelf space so Prime shipping (or super saver) applies. Otherwise it's Amazon's standard fees. However, items like this often have rotating vendors so it is always smart to check the seller (and shipping fees if necessary) before buying. Sounds like this has changed a couple times.

It is if you order directly from Amazon or from a seller marked "fulfilled by Amazon". From anyone else, it is at the discretion of the seller, but they usually charge for shipping.

I ran into the same problem myself. I had it in my cart yesterday and was waiting to hear back from my brother for his input before buying this for my niece. I assumed I had plenty of timer with the Prime and even pay $3.99 for Next Day but it automatically filled in the Amazon Prime standard 2 day shipping. HOLD ON!! I just tried adding it to my cart again just now and the problem's fixed!!! You can even get it by tomorrow, Saturday for $4.99. Unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer and already bought a different gift for her. Hopefully there's still time for you. I should just refuse delivery on the other gifts I bought instead and order this one now.

I'm just a customer (and a happy one), not the vendor. Did you mean to ask me this? Anyway, I remember shipping was through the Amazon warehouse, so cost will depend on whether you are a Prime member......like anything else. My experience has always been that Amazon handles all returns and if it is not what you want, they will take it back very easily. I don't imagine this thing would be any different. We really liked it though.

Probably to keep the shipping charge reasonable. No one wants to pay 15.00 to have an item shipped. I weighed my bag and it is 11 pounds. I use amazon prime so I don't pay shipping on anything. Different sellers advertise different shipping costs. Seems strange but I think it is to keep the product more appealing. I hate paying outrageous shipping charges and won't usually buy items if the shipping is high.

If you order from a Prime Vendor your shipping is including in the price of the product. Many non-prime vendors do the same, they offer free shipping of most products. If there are specific items you are looking at and the vendor is not Prime, I suggest contacting the vendor directly, not through the question/answer page as this does not go to any one specific vendor.

I just looked at saw that, also. Perhaps that is just general wording for all buyers. But if you are a Prime member, go ahead and put it in your shopping cart. Then check the delivery time there. It should be ok. If not, just delete it.

Here Is What It Says From One Of The "Other" Sellers & It Was Shipped By Amazon & The Cost Of Them Is $35.45 For 72 Count & Free Prime Shipping...Temporarily out of stock. Order now and we'll deliver when available. We'll e-mail you with an estimated delivery date as soon as we have more information. Your account will only be charged when we ship the item.

One great thing about Amazon is they don't charge you until it ships. I see B&H; charges when the order is placed.
