Save yourself some $ and check before ordering…
Reagent from BRS shipping is $20+ and add the reagent price to that, same product from Amz and Hanna store is $19 shipped with next day delivery. What the heck BRS? BRS states it can’t be flown because of restrictions, same thing with the glue if ordered. But if you order their propagation kit which included a tube of glue that didn’t stop it from shipping. Needless to say I went elsewhere for the glue and reagent. There’s been a few high price shipping prices from them. I’m in CA but other online stores don’t have a problem with shipping fees.

*It seems the phos powder is kicking up the shipping rate. Alk by itself is $8. Still doesn’t explain the glue. That I ordered from online AZ

Sounds like BS to me. Hit up saltwater aquarium.com or premium aquatics. I've had no problem getting free shipping as long as I have enough in my cart. Premium aquatics has sales tax calculated into the price so that can save a few $ also.

Agreed, I ended up ordering my reagents from SaltwaterAquarium.com, free shipping at $35, I believe, with no extra handling cost for the Hanna products.
 
There are certain items that can’t be shipped air. This is for safety reasons. Meaning those shipping them by air aren’t declaring them properly.
 
What reagent are they charging an extra $20 for?
I have three in my cart with no shipping added.

Alk and ULPhos, the Phos is kicking it up as it has to be ground. Alk seems to be $8 shipping,

I’ll get it elsewhere as stated above.

I’ve more so gone away from BRS over a few things
