I didn't mean to start a debate. We bought ours and paid the shipping. It was just a bit of sticker shock at first when you're buying a $2 bracelet and paying 3X that in shipping (unless you buy more).

No, I am saying with all of our costs taken out of what we charge for shipping, we make $120 million. That is what I mean by saying pure profit. That money goes directly to our bottom line.

Man it is nice living in the same town as a Margaritaville store! I just picked up 10 of them - no shipping. Just parked in the loading zone with my flashers on, ran in, bought them, and hopped back in the car.

They are pretty cool!

I was thinking the same thing about the shipping and was going to ask if maybe we could get a large order through bn or put one together, have them shipped to one person and then that person ship them out in a regular envelope? I'd be willing to take that on if there's interest in it.
That would certainly be a better option. I had clicked to order 5-10, but when I saw the shipping costs I just closed the window.

Land Shark - love your avatar! There's another not so nice one out there. Do a Google image search for "arguing on the internet".

For 20 bracelets, shipping was about $6.25. And they don't have that b*#&$ Rita headed their way either. The gal I spoke with said they just put them on their website this morning and already 14 orders had come in. I'm glad I got our order in!

You are welcome.

I will have some at the Vegas show on 10/22, I will gladly share any extra.

Why am I not able to find the bracelets on the individual store sites?

I placed my order last night at the Key West Store since it was either that or Orlando and I wanted mine from the place where the magic started, I just wish there wasn't a hurricane going through it right now

I just returned from the Orlando store (we live a couple miles from it) and they are sold out of the bracelets. They told me more are being shipped to them from Vegas, and they should arrive later this week, but they do not know when.

I will check in there regularly and pick up a bunch of 'em when they are available.

The Charleston store has a ton of them if anyone is looking.

Ordered three of them myself, figured three was more than shipping at least. Can't wait to get them! Hope they made a zillion! Great idea and great cause!!

I ordered mine yesterday! When I was in Orlando I asked if they had anything like that - I am so happy that they do! I have one for everything else and I don't wear them. But I will wear this one!

Just bought 6 from Key West - hope they ship soon! Everybody on the gulf coast stay safe!!!

One way to avoid shipping is buy your X-Mas cards now and add a bracelet or two in, you will pay the shipping of the X Mas cards which you have to buy eventually anyways

Ok, maybe I'm a bit slow. But what Christmas cards? I'm not finding them on the website. Gosh I would love to send out parrothead Christmas cards.

I ordered 10 (and some assorted sundries) before Rita was a problem for KW. I just hope I get them in time for MOTM.

UPS already tried to deliver our bracelets today and I missed them. I just ordered them the day before yesterday. I can't wait to get home tomorrow!
