Iwan Ries wants to charge me $48 to ship 1 tin USPS Priority Mail to Hawaii!

A USPS Priority Mail package this size only costs around $6-$7 to ship.

I’m going to call them, and ask them what’s up with this nonsense.

LePipe.it just shipped me last month 2 pipes from Italy using FedEx Express for only $17 USD.

Seriously if this how a company is going to operate with extreme prices for shipping like this, people should not support them! ?

What happened to that Aloha spirit?
Seriously though, that does seem like a lot of money for shipping. Have you called them to ask for an explanation?

I doubt that SP.com has discontinued selling St. James Flake. It is an extremely popular blend & there has been no notification that SG has discontinued it. Rest easy it’s a blend that can be found elsewhere until SP.com gets it back on line.
I have no personal knowledge of anything...I just prefer to be reasonable & optimistic bout one of my favorite retailers and blends. Give them a call and see what’s going on...I’m sure the answer is quite simple. ?☕

Unrelated but kind of related...

That's a real shame but the bit at the end about maybe licensing it to sell worldwide sounds interesting.

Sometimes I wish vendors would just show what is in stock. I use Tubotin on occasion to save time to look for stuff through major retailers.
