    What's the typical postage costs you Gus have been slugged by PM?
    I was going to place an order online so I didn't have to leave work, and they wanted $92 for a Perth delivery!
    I even took the heavy items out of the cart and it was still the same.

    I believe the retail site charges a flat per-kilo rate. 11kg will be 11 times 1kg.

    Weight of packaging is counted - e.g. a single 1kg bar is treated as 2kg for shipping.

    My order was a smidge over 2kg. I guess I have to drag my arse into the mint!

    I always use this logic when picking up/f2f on SS...does it worth my time? And I just use how much i earn an hour compared to the postage/risk.

    Altough if the other stacker promise me a coffee...it change the whole scenario...:D
