Default MoreBeer Orders

Sorry guys if this is in the wrong section, but I'm trying to order some ingredients from morebeer and I'm wondering abut shipping. The shipping calculator on the website says ~$48. Is this cost of product and shipping combined or just e cost of shipping? I emailed but no response.

Need more info? What did you order?

btw - morebeer lowered the free shipping option this month so all you need to do is spend $39 on qualifying items and it ships free. I bought about $70 worth of stuff recently, shipped free and got it within 4 days.

edit - just noticed you are not US based, so shipping is probably going to be a lot.

I ordered a grain bag, a recipe kit, and yeast.

The calculator Gives me this:

Shipping Service Charge
UPS Worldwide Expedited. 156.99
UPS Express Saver 169.51
UPS Standard 44.28
USPS Priority Mail - (6 - 10 business days) 48.13

My question is this just the shipping charges, or shipping and products combined?

Good golly, time to annex Canada. Those shipping charges are outrageous.

You live in BFE! International shipping to that far away is going to be pricy. Recipe kits are relatively heavy, too.

USPS priority mail for 15 lbs to canada is roughly 45 bucks. Seems spot on with the prices you've shown. Plus customs forms get really old to fill out.

So I'm looking at close to 100 bucks for this order by the time it arrives?

Are you expecting morebeer to eat the 45 dollar charge to ship a 45 dollar order to you? Not sure what you want us to tell you. That is the ACTUAL shipping cost though, based on a couple quick comparisons using UPS and USPS calcs.

There has got to be a Canadian based home brew shop that will ship it for less. That is ridiculous.

So I'd bet living in NL, you are use to higher shipping costs and slower shipping. I did a check, from montreal to your city, using canada post it is still 27 dollars for 15 lbs. With a lead time of 9-11 days.
