Yes, they've "lowered their prices" to offset the shipping increase, according to them.
I tried odering 4 lbs of grain from them for $6.25 and the shipping cost was $10.50 and I live in the next state. I wish they still had flat rate shipping.
Austin Homebrew my friends. Very cheap flat rate shipping and pretty speedy too.
I went back and added my last two orders to their cart to see how the new rates stacked up, and if I ordered the same thing today I would end up saving money on each order with the new variable shipping. Not much, I think one was $3 and the other was $4. So yes, they did lower the prices on some things.

Brewmaster warehouse or Austin homebrew flat shipping and fast shipping.
I ordered 12 lbs of grain or so from them a few weeks ago, and the shipping was ~$8.50, and it was much faster than with the old flat rate. It was 3d day, and they shipped it out the morning after the order. I like the new way much better.
Austin and Brewmasters Warehouse have almost always been more expensive when I value shop even with their flat rate shipping.

I agree, and thus shopped at Northern brewer unless someone else had fantastic sales going on. I went to buy 18lbs of LME for an upcoming brew, and shipping was nearly $25 for $50 worth of LME. NB has a great variety/selection, but shipping LME is a killer.
Both Austin and Brewmasters are sponsors on here (I think), so I will give them a shot. I'll be excited to go AG this summer, but no time to make the conversion yet.
*edit*
Whoa whoa, somehow a 6lbx6 (36lbs) of gold LME was also in my shopping cart, so nearly $25 to ship 54lbs of LME isn't too bad. For just the 18lbs it's a tad over $11. Prices of LME have not changed though.
Also my experience. I've stopped 'value shopping' and just shop at NB - saves me time and hassle.
I haven't shopped around much but I've been impressed with NB and not only their shipping but also their customer service. I had an order in and they shorted me a pound of grain but I also screwed up and didn't order a pound of another grain and they shipped me the missing grain and my screw-up for no charge. Guess who I'll be ordering from again??

Haven't seen any savings from them with their new shipping format. That being said, they are reliable with their product and shipping so if I need to get something that I can't get local I do look towards them first. Especially since I've have bad experiences with more beer

Somehow I looked at northern brewer for a 50 lb sack and shipping was 15 bucks. I waited a few days and when I went to purchase it went up to 24 bucks shipping for the same thing. They do have fast reliable shipping though and I've never had any issues.
