Re: shipping


I have the same gripe with Gardens Alive!  Since they are in my home state
(but at the opposite end), I have the pleasure of paying 6% tax on my lawn
fertilizer. Then, because the bags are heavy, they add an extra overweight
charge on top of the basic shipping rate.  California GA! shoppers pay the
same rate I do, less the tax.
