Re: Reptile Prime, now with free shipping

Back when it was Herptopia they assured me that a combined shipping discount was absolutely in the works. However, with the shipping incorporated into each individuals bags price, that is pretty much off the table.
I would love to hear back from what he says to you about it. I posted on his Facebook, but..no reply.
All this is not going to stop me from using it, that is for sure. I paid the same back when it was Herptopia, and as a matter of fact, I got a few bags for $14 shipped on Amazon, back when that deal was going on. That stuff is awesome, I see how the company goes about preparing it for animal use and its a bit more involved then shoving waste into bags. Certainly not less worthy then all the other substrates that are re-labeled and packaged for animal substrate use. But irregardless of all that, I would like to hear why Brian went to such a rather "slimey" marketing practice with this product, esp. since he wants his image to be this open, honest, no BS guy. I know there is nothing against the law against this advertising scheme, lots of businesses use it, actually almost all that offer free shipping do, but still...
I have not as I've been preoccupied with work and a plumbing project at my girlfriends house, I'm sorry. I will write the e-mail right now and send it tomorrow afternoon when I get home from work (12 hour shift today with hopes it's not extended to another 16).
If I recall they did construct a new facility for the bedding portion of the Cat Spot business, the parent company of Reptile Prime. Speaking of the parent company when the product was Herptopia they told me they can't/wouldn't/couldn't do combined shipping unless I ordered by the pallet.
