Why is this $11.49 when a box at the store costs ~$3.99?

We are in a very rural area and none of our stores had it. You are lucky if stores near you have it, it used to be in the laundry section.

Weight and the cost of shipping are the reasons why the price is greater. For those of you who sell merchandise online KNOWS that the cost of shipping is an eye-opener. Just either request that your local stores carry this product or find a place that already sells it. I hope this information helps you and others.

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

I don't know the option you are asking about, but I would never pay that much for one box! If several are in the option you are looking at, it would make sense. I only ordered one box and have since, found it in the store where I shop and buy it there.

Because it is a rip off. Pure and simple. I suckered for it. Don't you do it, too.

Same here. My local grocery store has exactly the same product at $3.59. Go take a look.

Yes, I am, as are a variety of other sellers on amazon. The price is determined by supply and demand, and the demand for this item has shown for the last month over and over again, that $40 is a good price that buyers are willing to pay for an item that they are no longer able to find either in stores or online at target. I'm sorry that you are not happy with the price. You certainly aren't being forced to buy this item.

I think it's just that retailers get more leeway on what to charge for boxes, whereas the digital download price is set by the manufacturer.You'll see the same thing all the time with books. The hard copy will come out for like $20 with a $15 digital download and then a few months later you can get the hard copy for $12 and the digital download is still $15. Amazon could cut the price of the book but not the digital version.

it comes out to $4.87 per box. thats not expensive compared to the store, my store sells it for $3.89 a box but i have to drive there and pick it up. the reason they dont charge $3.50 or $3.89 a box here is because they have to pay to ship it to you.

I noticed as of today, 6/7/14, that there are two prices listed--$12.54 for frustration free packaging and $25.99 for standard packaging. Don't know the difference in the packaging. That is quite strange in my opinion. I would definitely opt for the cheaper price instead of the doubled price. I had never seen that before when I ordered it.

It is $39.99 today at Target (11/12/2013), plus $8.01 shipping; so the current Amazon price is only off by a little. The Target website really turned me off, so I am happy to purchase here on Amazon

I purchased this for $5.59 in the past. Must be an error or typo, as there are sellers with it for less than $7 here on Amazon... which is STILL steep.

No, actually, you clicked through to the Amazon site. The $6.77 is Amazon letting you know that this is available from OTHER places for that price. But you may have to pay other shipping and handling elsewhere. You can get to those other places by clicking the lower link in the listing or by the highlighted "other sellers" where is says right underneath the prices that "this item may be available for less from other sellers."

I don't understand....one box was $8.99 but 4 boxes (when I clicked that link show $129.94). How much DID people pay for ONE box afterall? 4 of those plastic boxes could not be that much. Tho, surprisingly I found the exact item on the internet for over $68. Rediculous.

It was more than 6 dollars when I bought it in a Safeway in Seattle. I haven't seen it for less anywhere else. This is a pretty good price, for me, but it still breaks the budget a bit. It would be better if the box was at least a little bigger.

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.

Same here... Amazon has been out of stock for weeks so the other, third-party vendors prices are crazy. I found it at Walmart for $5.95 for a box of four. So that $1.48ea vs. $1.41ea @ $17/box.

I'm not sure how they package it now but a few months ago it was one 11oz box for $11.

When I purchased this, it was 1 item for $7.44. Looking at it today it says it is over $27 which is ridiculous.

That's not Amazon's price. It's from another "store" that sells on their site. If I remember correctly, Amazon's price was fair, but they must be sold out.

It should be showing $6.95 for shipping. We do not have a $5.99 or a $12.32.
