Celebrate Vitamins Shipping

Are all the companies this expensive? I know it's free shipping over $100, but anything I buy will have to be shipped to Tennessee and then we'll bring it back in our suitcases after visiting, so I can't order a LOT. (I need CLOTHES!) Shipping for a $13 box of calcium chews is around $8. If I order two, it's just a few cents more, but still... I wonder why they don't offer standard ground shipping? Bah.

I think you can order the Calcet chews from Amazon, too.  You might check to see if their shipping is cheaper.

Great suggestion. It is a little cheaper for shipping one box that way.

I do ship a variety of items multiple times a month. As far as I know, the US Postal Service requires that all packages being shipped overseas (I assume the Sweden under you name is correct) have to be shipped Priority Mail. This is a premium mailing service, with faster arrival.  I have items shipped to my home too.  Minimum shipping on any patckages I get for protein, supplements, etc. is $5 with a minimum of a $50-75 purchase.  Some companies rely on USPS flat rate shipping, as it's quick, you get free boxes, and the post office will pick them up.  Other companies rely on Fedex or UPS for shipping, which is more costly that regular US mail.  The shipping method varies with each company. Some companies offer cheaper delivery, but it may take a couple of weeks to arrive. I buy things on ebay and that often happens. Free shipping on some items, but arrival times are not fast. You may have the option of selecting a lesser expensive delivery method when you finalize your online purchase.  I buy high protein snacks for members of my support groups. If I use one company and my purchase is over $75, the shipping is only $5. If I use another wholesale company, I get no reduction in costs, so I make larger purchases there--items are stacked on a pallet, and delivered by USPS in 18 wheeler trucks at a reduced cost compared to delivery in the standard UPS brown delivery trucks.

No, I would need them shipped to Tennessee.

I buy my vote of eBay from celebrate

You MAY be able to get the shipping cheaper on Amazon. It depends whether they offer that item.  I've made several purchases over the years on Amazon. Many items are offered free shipping if over $25, BUT not all items.  Sometimes, the Amazon listing is linked to another vendor, and you'll end up paying some shipping.  Stndard ground shipping isn't offered by many companies for a variety of reasons.  DAVE

 Also try ordering them from gastricbypasssupplements.com

Their shipping is also usually free over $100.. they have promotions most every week and sometimes this puts the free shipping for over $50.  I usually order the 3 pack of the chews, a couple bottles of the chewable calciums and a couple boxes of protein bars and that usually meets the minimum criteria for the free shipping.  I honestly don't remember when I've paid for shipping from them so I don't know what their normal shipping rates are.
