why is this no longer shipped to California?

I was told by the customer service team leader it could not be shipped to my address in CA due to shipping restrictions. I'm not sure why as it contains no liquids, flammable agents, or hazmats. I see it at the pet store 5 blocks away from me for $2 more.

Agreed, it won't ship to California. Seems like a glitch in their system to me, as there's no reason for this to be restricted. Customer service says that it has a problem with the "facility center". Whatever that means....they couldn't even tell me what it means.

Probably owing to labeling laws about "contains substances known to the State of California cause blahblahblah" when the mere act of living in California is itself known to cause worse.

I contacted customer service about this and was given a bogus answer about them doing an upgrade. I kept telling the representative that this had nothing to do with an upgrade because there were numerous other people stating they could not order in California and that the posts go back to 2013. She apologized and reiterated her made up answer to try again in a couple of hours after the upgrade was done. Probably the worst customer service experience I've ever had with Amazon! I contacted another rep who seemed to be knowledgable enough not to feed me bogus answers but he also could not place the order for me or give me any details about why I wouldn't be able to order this. Seems crazy! I contacted customer service about this and was given a bogus answer about them doing an upgrade.

I tried as well, but it say it can't be shipped. I assume because I'm in California?

Hello, we currently have 71 in stock. We ship from California and I would recommend UPS Ground for shipment to receive by 8/20/14. Thank you, Customer Service, Office Playground

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. Thanks, Dan Wholey at Wholeys

The only reason I can think of is that the warehouse shipping the order was temporarily out of the music system. Give the another day or two to catch up. These are great systems.

Unfortunately this item could be restricted from shipping to California due to the lead or water consumption laws.

DOT regs wont allow it to be shipped because it would be concidered some kind of hazard &/or hazmat load, which would rewuire more regs than what UPS,USPS are willing to go through. Thats my understanding of it.

Sorry, can't do that anymore. The freight has gotten too expensive. Perhaps another vendor can ship to you.

Please ignore this note, it was inserted by a seller who created the listing. We are located in CA, ship from CAlifornia.

Because the state of CA requires them to put it there if it can be distributed into CA. May be lead or any number of other things that the product could have in it or may not have in it.... Read here: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/background/p65plain.html

We can ship it to CA no problem. It is not "certified" for CA because CA requires an extra fee that Berkey has chosen not to pay. You can look for the product offered by us, A Better Life Now, and it will ship to you.

As far as I know it's only the American version because I live on the west coast and it shipped from mid California to me. I wish I knew more about it. I'm sure Amazon would accommodate for which area you order it from. Amazon buys in them self are reliable.
