How much have you guys been paying for the shipping of your orders. Does it vary greatly with the size of the order?

Any LP's not charging extra for shipping? Over 15 bucks is quite steep in my opinion, thats another 2 potential grams gone

For the amount of profit they make and how light the packages are I'm surprised there's shipping costs. Maybe its HC or they are making extra money on shipping. Next time weigh the package call the company that shipped it and ask them for a quote to the LP address.

It's definitely not HC saying anything about this or everyone would be charging the same for shipping and using the same method. Organigram says on their website they will ship for free.

Shipping isn't cheap. It's hard to send ANY package under ten bucks. I'm sure shipping is NOT the money maker in LP land. The BL has NO shipping at all. I'll buy there thanks. I'd rather support honest criminal's as opposed to medical patient feeding leach sucking over priced LP BUZZARDS.....Look Below Tweed ate my girlfriend yesterday.
Better hide out Yessica...they're after you next!!! And your just little!

You can negotiate low rates with most shipping companies. If they can't is that mean they don't really have that much of steady/repeat sales?

Hippy, for all of your posts, I would have pegged you for a home-grower rather than someone who buys their weed from anyone. Do you not grow your own, or were you just speaking hypothetically?

Thanks for sharing, I was just curious. From your posts, I figured that you have a green thumb.....you seem like you are even cheaper than I am though, so figured you'd be fully self-sufficient on that front
I'd love to see some pics of your hippy home-grown anytime you feel like sharing. (real pics, not hilarious hippy memes, haha)

Hmmmmm......... Actual real questions...not used to that. Some photo's I've show are mine. I enjoy trying other items too so sometimes I purchase elsewhere or do some trading. I could not afford my meds at the prices LP's charge. Simply not in my income bracket to buy those. I don't work and have a pretty low income. Well actually home growing can get pricey too. With all the equipment and nutes needed. I like to do thing right so spend a few buck to make my meds...ya know.
I know the postal system pretty well from first hand experience and I know parcels under 8 bucks are almost non existent any more. I can see a ten dollar shipping if your gonna charge it at all. I'd have a minimum order of some sort and only charge under the minimum

I don't know many medical users that could afford the current prices if LP's were their only option. I have a very good career and there is still no way I could afford to buy all of my medicine from LP's. This needs to be a major focus at the hearing in Feb, as close to 60% of medical users are on disability or reduced pay.
Does anyone know if there have been any surveys specific to Canadian MMJ patients and their demographics/income? If not, this is something that should be started ASAP for number crunching purposes. In big bold numbers, I'd love to see the following chart with the corresponding data:
Avg LP Price/gram / Avg. Monthly Prescription / Avg. Monthly Income of Patients / % Patients that Can Afford to Fill Prescription with LPs
Fill in that chart with accurate and up-to-date data, and I'm fairly certain that the results will be completely laughable and will speak for themselves. The courts have already made it clear that patients require reasonable access........if only a small fraction of patients would actually be able to fill their entire prescription with LP's, how on earth is that reasonable access? Given the precedent that has been set, I find it extremely hard to believe that the courts will remove the right/option for patients to provide for themselves moving forward. Last I checked, this is supposed to be a free society where people (especially those that are sick and in need) have options and choices. (Good) LP's will serve an important role and are needed as not everyone can or wants to grow for themselves, but LP's can't be the only option given the cost factor alone.

I agree, agree and even agree...well said and hit the nail on the head. Patients aren't cash cows and there is no need to make em pay thru the nose. $10 bucks a gram ..gimme a break.. the best weed I ever bought never cost near that much.
when your sick you have a lot of expenses. High LP prices is not a solution.

(Raises hand) "Present". All joking aside, the patients I speak to didn't even know forums like this existed. It's just a matter of getting the word out, we just need to be able to do it on a grand scale somehow. Maybe Hippy will volunteer to do some charity fund raising on his Schwinn, spreading the good word, and hopefully not his legs while riding that thing.
