[NAFEX] Marionberry

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.
