I was going to order a pack of seeds that cost $1.50 and they wanted $4.50 for postage.
Are they crazy
Where were you ordering from?
There were several places I checked.
That is kinda crazy.
One was Trade Winds Fruit.
can you believe it. what they won't do to make a buck.lol

The only form of protest is to not order them and tell them why.
I won't be buying anything from them or any of the ones like them.
wow,that is crazy.
I had one nice supplier that called to tell me I could ship two plants in the box at no additional postage. That was nice. Anymore they nearly all have flat rate boxes or bubble packs I suspect to save administrative labor.
I ship two single packs of pumpkin seed and two sheets of instructions in a small bubble pack for two first class stamps anyplace in the USA. excepting territories.
Some places are even higher... I don't remember which ones, but this winter when I was doing seed catalogs I remember some "minimum" shipping charges of $6 or more.
I do a lot of trading, LOL. I also like "group purchases" where shipping charges can be distributed among participants. :-)
Yes those shipping and handling charges are a hoot. They are like me saying I am just a pure and simple guy........1% pure. They are like milk shrinking into a three quart bottle for a gallon price. If that has not yet happened it will. They are like the service charge game the banks play. One recently charged me a $5.00 service charge for honoring an unsigned check I sent to someone. I screemed holy murder and got it back for fifty bucks of my valued time.
