Where is that image captured from? Maybe it’s because I’m browsing using my phone, but I don’t see that particular image anywhere. You also have to dig pretty deep on their website to find the information about free shipping after $125.
Hmm… using a phone must be the difference. This is what I see no matter which way I turn it.
Nothing to beware of except for the buyer paying attention to the minimum order requirement.
I agree. For those not aware, Midwest Supply and Northern Brewer have been owned by the same company for a long time. The prices at MS are a little lower than NB, but their price point for free shipping is quite a bit higher. NB has slightly higher prices but has a lower price point to qualify for free shipping. So you pay a little extra at NB, but you get "free" shipping.
I haven't found their free shipping offer anywhere else, except on the front page... And one has to order 6 of those kits, or add other stuff, to make the minimum order amount to qualify for "free" shipping.
For most home brewers, I think you would be asking for stale LME if you bought six kits.
I’m pretty sure the Christmas gift of a beginners brewing kit that I received about 20 years ago was from Midwest supplies. They were my go to HBS for many years when I was a beginner. I have since moved on to other companies that seem to have more appealing inventories and deals for me.I haven't found their free shipping offer anywhere else, except on the front page...

Not too bad a price for extract kits, and they can be modified/enhanced... All LME-based, though.
Just to test it out, I tried to put some of those kits in my cart, but... my cart stays empty!
I guess I'd need to log in first, (and create an account) which is not inviting for (potential) customers or to hook a casual browser.
This is what I saw. The mobile version doesn't show the minimum shipping.
