Does anyone else feel restricted because of shipping fees?
I know that many of us have ditched Amazon, but it’s hard to ignore their free shipping policy.
When you’re looking for Canadian products sold by Canadian companies, and have to pay $10-$20 extra for shipping because it’s not available locally, it’s like a premium on top of a premium.
And yes, some places offer free shipping past a certain amount (usually well over $100), which just incentivizes buying extra stuff you don’t need.
I mean, shit, you can get products shipped from China for free, so why can’t we offer free or very low cost shipping within Canada (via Government incentives)?
Does anyone have any tips to ease this pain point?
I subscribed to an organic CSA years ago, and it was amazing.
But I did recently look for other CSA boxes, and they just don’t offer enough value. The amount of stuff you get is listed to feed 4 adults, but I’d probably use it all up in two meals.
I’m hoping that local farmers markets will be more reasonably priced this year, especially if farmers aren’t selling as much to the states.
