To the list,
I decided to order a jar of Marionberry jam to sample the flavor, but
found that the 12-oz. jar cost $3.95, but shipping and handling was
$14.68. Whoa! That's far too much to test the flavor of a berry. As a
comparison, first class mail for 12 ounces at 42 cents per ounce
would be $5.04. Of course one has to allow a little extra for the
glass jar and packaging, but $14.68 seems pretty extreme.
I'm afraid most of their sales will be limited to the Gervais area in
Oregon's Willamette Valley.
