Why is this so expensive? I have been paying $27.00/free shipping when sold by amazon?
1288605
In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

The answer, for myself at least, is that $40 for 8 cubic feet of litter isn't expensive. I did a lot of research before buying this giant bag (it's over 4 ft tall) from Amazon. I got the price of different types of rabbit-friendly litter at every store that sold them, including all the local feed stores. I broke down the price to the dollar amount per cubic inch. This bag of aspen is less than a cent ($0.002) per cubic inch. The next cheapest litter (Petco, 2 cubic foot of aspen) is $0.003, or $44.16 plus tax for 8 cubic feet. In addition to saving a few dollars, I get the added perk of having the litter delivered to my door. I have to ask, though: where were you finding an 8 cubic feet bag of litter for $27? I've been ordering litter off Amazon for years, and I've never seen that quantity that cheap.

I missed out on it on Woot, which killed me! It's funny how this seller (Shoptronics) is currently selling it so cheap ($23.97), but charging $24.97 to ship it. Granted, it's still cheaper than it is in most places, but it's hard to accept a shipping charge so high, LOL, regardless of how cheap the item really is. If they sold it for $49 with free shipping it would appear to be a great deal. Shot logic, I know, but alot of people get miffed at a ridiculous shipping charge, regardless of how it still ends up being cheaper than everywhere else.Amazon.com is selling it for $52.97 w/free shipping, so Shoptronics is still cheaper.November 2008.

Just added this item to cart andd went to checkout -- shows up as free shipping for me. Are you sure that the you were purchasing it from Amazon and not a third-party seller?

Hi Linda&gt; Amazon's free shipping threshold is now $35 on purchases...so you'd have to order 3 to get the free shipping.

Unless you have a prime account, you will need to spend $35 with Amazon or a third party seller that uses Amazon to fulfill the order (like CCM Stores) to get free shipping. There are also other sellers that don't use Amazon to ship the item that offer free shipping. Look for "Other Sellers" in the right sidebar.

But ----- certainly NOT free (Prime) shipping. Much cheaper here, unless you are able to pick it up.

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

No problem, I know it hasn't been over a year but thought it was close enough to respond. I paid $27.20 from Amazon prime as well. I was able to find it for $35.47 inc ship and tax @ hunting4less.com and for $34.45 inc ship and tax @ boaterbarn.com this was for my location though not sure what it would be for you but may be worth looking into since this is half of what Amazon wants now. Good luck!

The way Amazon works is that multiple sellers may have a offer for the same item as well as the description Amazon uses may be from a different seller that does not offer free shipping. You will want to pay attention to the costs you see in pricing section and not in the description. In this case it looks like Amazon offers it with free shipping and there are other sellers that offer it for around the same total price as well. So you can choose who you would like to purchase it from.

Probably because the shipping is more expensive. I can ship to you after I find out what shipping cost would be?Let me know.ThanksDessa

Wow, glad you mentioned this, I'm thinking of buying this. It's now $85. Amazon's pricing for many items does fluctuate, and sometimes quite a bit. It will likely decrease again, not sure when though. You just have to check for it as often as you can until you catch it.

Hello, no it is not free, all my products have free shipping except a few products like this one that you ordered. Thank you!

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.

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.

Because it is a Super Saver shipping item ($25 or more) it ships free. I bought it last month. Got the item in 3 days and free shipping.

Totally agree, was about to buy 4 things, shoes, a watch, etc and it totaled 169$ and with the shipping 341$. In the US! This is crazy! I went to Zappos.com and bought 4 pairs of shoes for 169$ with free shipping! They didn't have the watch but I felt it was very fair for my buy! They even accepted next day shipping. I love Amazon but I think shipping costs are excessive....it will force us to loose loyalty to them and look for more options... so sad .... but true

Ditto here. Was going to order this and in 2 days the cost jumped up $80.00.Amazon does not seem to have a say in keeping the previous $286 price. Or do they? From the previous comments posted, a loss of 3-4 sales.
