From CT to LI it would be more expensive because you have to add in gas tolls and wear and tear on your vehicle.

Ok I got in touch Taam Inc Company, The one's that sell OceanPure Salt mix, The problem with this big distributors are blocking them from selling on the east coast, and to buy it from the west coast shipping is insane..
200 gallaon mix sells for about $30.00 , Probably one of the best salt mixes, I only read great results ... He is dying to sell to the east coast, A group buy is possiable he tells me , i will find out more info later today.. I'll keep you guys posted ,

Did you have to use a coupon code or something? I just tried ordering 10 buckets and the shipping is $17.99.

I might have had a coupon. I don't remember. It was in november or december so shipping might have gone up.

But let's face it. $1.80 per bucket shipping isn't bad. Think of the gas and time it takes to go get 10 buckets.
