why is shipping so high. Omaha steaks ships in dry ice for 1/4 the shipping price.

Jim the reason is because we were being taken advantage of standard shipping to the west coast. We had inexpensive shipping and we had most of our customers ordering from California/ Washington/ Oregon and we were losing money on every order. We changed everything to two day air for $40 dollars and now we break even on shipments to the west coast. My suggestion is to go to our own site where the shipping is less and sometimes free.

I know you asked this a few months ago, but it is prime now. Should be much cheaper shipping now, especially if you are a prime member.

Shipping is way too high. NO reason to charge that much except to rip us off.

Handyct is charging that shipping price. I work for ovisonline.com. Order this product from our site if you do not want to pay the Amazon calculated shipping charges.

Hello, Thank you for bring this to my attention. I was not aware of the shipping pricing error. I have now corrected it.

Would you like to receive them packed in a box melted , or packed in a cooler with frozen packs , shipped priority 2day mail to be received firm and in great condition. If you want them the 1st way, make a note when ordering and we will work out a partial refund to accomodate you being a servant of money instead of visa versa.

The price is higher than MSRP for the item because freight shipping costs are including in the selling price.

I agree with Roger, this stuff was never cheap, I'm paying now about what I paid by-the-can when it was sold locally in stores (though I could negotiate with some store managers and buy 12-pack cases for $16, that was nice. I should have stocked up), and it can't be that cheap to ship these. It would be really great if there weren't regular delays due to being out of stock, though, but that just gives me hope that it's popular enough to not disappear forever. A subscription plan like Amazon has with a lot of grocery items (where you save 15% for monthly deliveries) would be excellent, we could save about $4 a case and not have to remember to come back to re-order as often!

It was probably offered for $9.71 by a 3rd party seller who did not include the shipping costs into their list price. This annoys me when it happens too.

That's the way "free shipping" works :) Stores ship in bulk & hence their per piece shipping cost is much lesser.

Because the shipping is free and normally would cost you almost as much as the table. They want it for real customers, not someone reselling the tables as a business with Amazon paying the freight.

Dear Mr Cox: i am not sure my first attempt at an answer got through to you. You should not be seeing a shipping charge if you are ordering from efficientliving. I have not heard that from any other customers today or ever before. I assume you are in the US. I don

I know there are products that maintain the temperature at a safe level, such as small filled pouches with dry ice. I think this is how most shippers will use when sending their products.
