woodchuck,

I just ordered 6 items today from (guess who?) Jung's Seeds. I was charged $4.95 for handling and shipping. The way I look at it, someone has to go pull my 6 items from the stockroom, print up a shipping label plus an invoice, process my credit card payment, package up the items in a box, call UPS to pick up the package, email me with shipping / tracking information, incur an obligation if the shipment gets lost to replace it for me, and oh, by the way, actually pay UPS to deliver the items.

When you ask me if I would be willing to do all that for a $4.95 shipping and handling fee, "forget-about-it"!! I have no complaint about this charge as far as I am concerned.

Ray
