Shari’s Berries are worth every cent you spend! I also was concerned because I sent a gift last year to my parents and my shipping was double yours ONLY because each gift I sent required their special packaging.
They have to pack them very carefully so that they don’t break but also to keep them really cold. That’s what you are paying for so just do it! I promise it is worth that cost and you’ll be happy because they are simply outstanding. My parents were just awestruck at the size the taste of Shari’s Berries and no I don’t work for them.
I had some from a gentleman who was trying to save money (ahem) and they were damaged and melted and really not so good. Just get the premium. After all, $15 is worth sending a very special gift. ;)
You make a lot of good points :-)
