While other companies are increasing their product prices to continue to offer "free" shipping, Kirkland Family Foods prefers to treat folks like family. While gasoline and freight costs *are* higher now, we would rather let our customers see it as it is, than to quietly raise prices, like some other vendors. So we do include regular UPS rates on our invoices, but we try to keep our prices as reasonable as possible. We believe you would prefer it that way.
