The shipping is $48.86 but the tree is only $39.95! Did you all pay more for the shipping than for the tree? (not eligible for Amazon Prime)

This is how some companies lure people into buying items. They reduce the price so that it gets your attention and shows up in searches for lower price ranges, but then they recuperate their loss by increasing the shipping price.

I live in Los Angeles and this company is just a few miles from me. I called to see if I could buy it and pick it up to avoid the shipping cost and they told me they sell it at their store for ~$80. They could not lower the price. They said Amazon chooses to reduce the cost of the item from the $80 to the $35 so they can charge the rest in shipping and make it look like it is cheaper. They said if I wanted to buy this item in store I would have to pay the full price. I am not sure if this is Amazon or the seller Best Choice Products but either way I feel this is deceptive and makes me not want to even bother.

80" with this amount of weight is considered oversize & heavy weight which raises shipping costs dramatically. I personally ship a lot of items, and in my experience, this rate is reasonable.

It's still a way better combined price than what you would pay at a pet store. Under $100 for a tree this big is a steal.

You must understand that if you have ever had a cat tree this big, it weighs a ton. Look at the specs and think about the shipping cost of something that weighs over 60 lbs. that's why the shipping is high. I am sure they are trying to keep it affordable. I was the same tree on Wal-Mart.com and the price was the same. It is waaayyy better than Petco or Petsmart prices for this tree.

If you are a Prime member you can choose that shipping option. Otherwise, shipping is $2.99.

Same thing with me. I put it in my cart earlier today at $399 from Amazon.com. Now my cart is saying that Amazon doesn't carry this, and if i still want it, it will be fulfilled by another vendor for $429. It feels like some shady maneuvering going on here.

I think the shipping cost depends on your type of Amazon order. I have Amazon prime and did not pay for shipping. (The poor delivery guy, I ordered 50 pounds and he had to carry it to my office). Love the sand but I really only needed to order one. It filled my therapeutic sand tray with a bit extra. Now IO have to lug the extra home. LOL I defiantly would buy this again. Only if I ever go through what I already have.

It appears to me that the seller (not Amazon) jacked up the price for those to over 8.00 each. Nice of them to take advantage of the season. If you can't find them on Amazon.com for 2.99each I would purchase from lego directly. Unfortunately you still have to pay shipping so that option is depending on how many you want to buy and if the seller on Amazon is doing free shipping. Not worth getting it from anyone else unless Amazon has it for 3.00 and with prime shipping. Hope this helps some. I purchased a lot of lego and you have to be careful of who you buy from on Amazon as they can grossly overcharge you.

If you don't want to use Amazon's 'free shipping' option for orders of $35, shipping cost was $4.99. Not too bad.

Do you ask IKEA how much they charge for shipping? It's slot cheaper on Amazon, plus you will get it much faster (sometimes you pay for convenience)

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.

The seller should amend his previous answer. It is currently $14.99 + $3.99 shipping. For comparison, this product sells for $9.99 at Apple + free shipping. I just bought from Apple for nearly half the price.

Did you try ordering it? Because once you do there is a minimum of $4.49 for shipping. And there is no 2 Day shipping like there is from Amazon.

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!

I wonder if it has anything to do with the introduction of Amazon Prime, where you pay $79/yr to get "free" 2 day shipping for a year. Maybe they are thinking that if they make the delays for non-Amazon Prime customers long enough and the cost of shipping high enough (now it seems that it always cost $3.99 no matter where the book is coming from) that more people will pay the $79 fee to join Amazon Prime.

The seller did not send the tree which is what I complained to amazon about. So I am unsure how the tree looked to figure out a way. Sorry
