| Holy cow! Shipping prices for PetEdge Wow, petedge has some great stuff, but BOY is shipping expensive. when I was checking out my cheapest choice for shipping prices was ups ground $33.99! The next choice was ups 3day at $75! WHat the heck!!!!!! I went with ups ground. But I got myself some of the glocoat. This stuff better be good. I also got some cute items to sell. But good night. NOt the type of place you want to place a small order. The ups overnight shipping price was 2 times the cost of my total. And my total wasnt cheap. Crazy!

| Same thing happened to me! If you do not order at least 60.00 you even get a surcharge. It is ridiculous! I also posted a thread about this about a month ago.

| I knew to buy more than $60. And I understand that it is because they are a wholesale company that prefers to sell to retailers in bulk and thats wy they are so cheap. But I buy lots of items from lots of companies as part of my business and they just had the most ridiculous shipping I have ever seen. I went back and bought even more stuff just so I wouldnt have to place an order again for awhile. They made me broke!

| I placed an order of $47.64 and my shipping came to $7.20 for a total of $54.84. Granted, I don't pay taxes because I am overseas (APO). I guess regular USPS priority is not an option if you have a CONUS address? Brooke |

| I had the exact experience but i got my stuff last nite, and let me tell you, it's all top quality and I love the glocoat!! It was worth the shipping when i was looking at the retail cost of the stuff on other sites, Pita got the Pink Diva shirt and it is so well made! |

| Me too I have not ordered from Petedge in about 6 months, but I never paid more than $6 for shipping. Most of my orders were for about $60 and I was not charged a surcharge. I have not ordered recently due to some tight finances. But I was pleased with the products and the shipping costs, it was still way cheaper than the stores. Course I have two yorkies, and since what one gets the other also gets, it is really easy to get over $50 in items. |

| I've been ordering from Pet Edge for a little over 1 year and I agree, the shipping prices are outrageous. But I continue to order from them because I like to order my dog's toys in bulk. My last order was about 1 month ago and I spent $60 on toys - you can't even IMAGINE how many toys I was able to buy for $60. If I bought toys from my local pet shop, $60 would get me about 10 toys because they're so expensive. But I ordered over 40 toys on Pet Edge.

| My last order from PetEdge was about $90 and the shipping was $17! I was pretty shocked because when I placed an order a few months ago of about $100 the shipping was only $8. I love PetEdge but those shipping costs are a little on the high side for me. I usually end up buying the same stuff from King Wholesale because most items qualify for free shipping and their handling charge is only $5 for orders under $100. I also like Valley Vet because they also offer free shipping.

| My last order to petedge was just over $60, shipping was about $20. But 1 item I ordered was $25 cheaper that at Pest Mart, so for me well worth the shipping charges. |

| That's strange Shana - my orders usually total about $75 and the shipping is never more than $10 for UPS Ground. I believe the stuff comes from Massachussetts, so its not like I am that close either.

| It has to be based on weight. I ordered $140 worth of stuff so I defiently went over the $60 amount. I did order a bunch of the small princess dog food bowls so they must be heavy. I do love thier prices dont get me wrong. BUt I did a "mock " order a few weeks ago to see what they would charge for shippping and it wasnt half that so I am kinda ticked. The other wierd thing is that the food bowls are back ordered so maybe they charged me shipping twice knowing they would have to ship those later? I would have waited then. I dont know. $34 is Kinda high for 1 week shipping in my opinion. Other than the dishes I just bought the doggles and glocoat? Those arent heavy. ANd none of those items are large by any means. I am kinda sick of all the wholesale companies(not just pet companies) charging me processing fees and HIGH shipping fees. Its enough money to not consider them wholesale. ANd I am not referring to pet edge b/c honestly thier prices are sooooo cheap that its worth the $34 shippping. I have been dealing with a lot of craft/fabric, raw materail type wholesalers that charge me $15 for a small package of rhinestones. Teeny tiny weightless rhinestones. I know for a fact it would cost $3.85 to 2-3 day priority mail with usps.

| I just want to clarify- I would HIGHLY recommend buying from petedge as they have CUTE cheap items but buy as much at one time to save on thier shipping fees. Thats why I was telling you guys about my experience.
