Flat rate shipping, $10 for any order under $50. You have to go a ways
into it before finding that out, though, IF you get to the site the way
I did (a Google search). My jar of powdered almond extract is 2.9
ounces and costs $5.79 cents (something like that). $16 is too much for
maybe 1/2 cup of product. And I won't order more unless I know I like
it. And I'll never know that because I won't pay $16 to find out.
Adams Extracts and Spices (I think). Their CSR manager pretty much told
me to like it or lump it. :-) Fair enough. Rules are rules, charges
are charges. They just don't explain it very well.
