Free Shipping
This is going to be a short post because the topic dictates its brevity... (I'm miffed right now so I won't waste words... Unfortunately, I can't use the words that I want to use, but here goes...)
Let me explain... Many moons ago I used to be a pretty fair beer brewer, and now I want to get back into the hobby. My equipment is gone and I need to buy another set plus a beer ingredient kit or two. No problem right? I'll just hop online and get what I need (pun intended...) Problem freaking solved. But nooo!!! I have to play the 'shipping and handling' game; I either have to fill in the stupid online form just to get a quote, or call and then futz around to get a quote. I don't want that hassle. And I don't want to order a crock pot only to have to drive to the derned Sears in the mall (12 miles away) to pick it up! Just let me choose what I want, I'll pay with a credit card or PayPal, and my gear will be delivered to my door. Why is life so difficult???
To understand the phrase, "Time is money...", a person really needs to work for himself or herself. Unfortunately, I've spent hours I really can't afford trying to get a simple price on a beer kit... Arggghhh!!!
There... I'll get off my soap box now, and relinquish my crown...
My advice? Find the retailers who offer free shipping and use them. (Which is what I ended up doing for my suds...) Is anything really free? I doubt it, but neither is my time or patience... Since you're reading this, my counsel during the gift-giving season (and beyond), is to call Brooke, or go to the eBirdseed.com store, and make it short and sweet... Then sit down, crack a brewski, watch the birds and enjoy...

P.S. I'll keep you posted on the beer recipes... I used to make a red ale that was better than anything you could buy in the store...
