I set the pricing on our products, and have been in business since 1997. This is why I am still in business.
Lowes has a $45 minimum, then it is $5.99 for shipping (much more than what ePestSupply charges)
Amazon is free shipping (but not if you are prime member - you pay $149 per year)
Home Depot is free shipping over $45.
We are not a Fortune 100 company like Home Depot or Amazon - neither is Lowes, and cannot afford to ship for free on such a small amount. Lowes and Home Depot realize this issue too that's why they have a $45 minimum.
Here is the breakdown of this order for $19.95
Cost of product - $4.00
Cost of shipping - $10.00 (depending on where you are located - it might be more)
Cost of boxing materials - $1.00
Cost of employee labor to process and box order - $3.00
Credit card fees - $.80
Cost of you clicking on the Google ad - $2.00
Total cost - $19.80 (approximately)
This is why for these types of products the cost is $19.95 and we ship for Free.
