Why is shipping so expensive? It makes the alternative products with Amazon Prime shipping possible very attractive.

Thanks for your question. I would like to mention that my product is the only" 12 Hotdogs in 6 minutes" Stainless Steel (non-Plastic) hotdog steamer on Amazon for the consumer today. I include Expedited Shipping. The product is shipped from Montreal Quebec Canada. Also, Amazon Prime costs $99 per year

we could do that the only thing that costs more would be the weight of the package with shipping... extra charges are hard with amazon as things are a set price...

There are many variables that go into selling. Fees to ship to Amazon as someone stated as well as purchase costs. A large retailer has the ability to purchase much larger quantities at a volume discount and the retail store may be in a position where they are clearing them out at near or below cost prices.

The shipping cost is built into price. Price is usually about the same as a store that offers free shipping

The shipping is already combined when you check out. Your shipping price will increase because when you add more product it increases the total weight that you are sending.

could be because amazon is offering free shipping (and tax free in some states, though I don't think that is taken into account) where as the other sites are going to charge an arm and a leg.

Because this item comes in more than one size. Some sizes are in stock and available in Amazon distribution centers, some are not. Each merchant probably have only certain sizes, most likely no one has ALL of the sizes available, and Prime is only for items that are sitting in an Amazon distribution center. Some merchants find that they can offer a lower price if they ship the item directly to the customer rather than paying Amazon to handle the shipping process. Hope that helps all the busy Mom's out there.

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.

Hello Homer, I just checked with UPS, which Amazon's preferred shipping method. There are a few locations in your area so it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for your inquiry! - P Coast Partner Customer Service

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.

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

We are capable of it, but the cost of shipping usually makes a local distributor more competitive... We'd need postal code to calculate shipping, but it will be over $100 US.

I don't know exactly because Amazon controls shipping rates. Why don't you add it to your cart and see what happens? You will be able to see what the shipping is before actually checking out and committing to the order.

TK Thank you for your email...Amazon has some very strange shipping models. In the case of the Furled line ONLY at $9.95 &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I have ship model set up as free shipping. When you order several items at one time, the Amazon ship model adds them all together and does apply shipping. We will always refund the shipping charge paid for the Furled line. Regards, Steve Clemans

I believe that is the way Amazon has it set up. If you are a Amazon PRIME customer the shipping is combined. If you order three, I would be glad to give you a refund on the shipping. All you have to do is ask. When an item is listed all I do is put in the weight of the item. Amazon sets all the shipping fees according to weight.

Probably because they purchased it for under $100. If you notice amazon prices fluctuate daily. For example today (01/06/2014) the price is 97.82+ shipping.

Hello, Having an Amazon Prime membership helps save alot on shipping. It may be your current address costs a bit more to ship to. Unfortunately, Amazon is the one who sets this rate due to the fact that they fulfill all of my orders. I am sorry that there is nothing else I can do.
