So, don't you hate it when you go online to order something that weighs 2 oz. for $12.79 and the shipping is $10.50?
It is basically our cost passed on to you. The Lites take a lot of hours to lead, paint, protect, gold the leading, re-protect, then add lights - actually more that a 20 day process. We want your Lite(s) to arrive safely - and we know you do, too. If you are ordering them to be sent as a gift, you certainly have a right to expect that they will arrive in one piece.
The only way we can protect them as much as possible is to ship with heavy-duty materials and ship 2-3 day priority and include insurance for each shipment so the package gets delivered as quickly as possible.
The nice thing with shipping each Lite individually is that you can order your bottles to be shipped directly to your gift recipients.
We are sorry for the cost - but we want your Lite and the gift Lites you send to arrive on-time and in perfect condition!
Note: If you are in the Bentonville, Arkansas area we can arrange a pick-up location that saves shipping.
