Chris,
No, the shipping charges are not included in our price. But, we only charge actual UPS cost, no packing or handling fees. It wouldn't be right for someone 100 miles south of here to pay more, just to compensate for someone who lives in California.
Can't help it, but that's what I hate about internet & catalog stuff. We just want to be fair & reasonable. <b>Shipping charges are not a profit center for us.</b> In my mind the "packing & handling" should be included in the sale price.
Sorry for the rant, but that's just our method of business. We actually use what we sell & are more than happy to talk to other users about it. That's why we stock all products, bisquettes, accessories & most parts. We are the only US dealer authorized by Bradley to handle warranty issues. We can & will ship the same or next day, depending on the time of the order.
We only became a dealer because we bought one & realized it was a fantastic smoker. This is basically a "labor of love" thing as both of us have day jobs.
