mytrixie....i live waaaaaay out in the boonies girl!!! i live in a very small town called jena about a hour away from alexandria...shipping and handling is crazy sometimes. i am trying to start my own little candle business and someplaces will charge 3$ and others will charge 30$. i think there ought to be a set rate!!! it only costs 5$ to order clothes from old navy online but 20$ for a bag of dog food...makes me shake my head!!!
