I was excited to find the perfect umbrella stand though quickly was dismayed because of the shipping price. It was 1/4 of the price of the item. I wrote to the company questioning the price as I thought it might be an error. Here's the communication: I found the perfect umbrella stand and filled out the page to order it. However, I was shocked at the shipping charge, which was 1/4 of the price of the umbrella stand. Do people really pay your shipping charges? I've never seen a charge that hefty for one item. My order is below. Aluminum or Brass Combination Umbrella Stand 259 by Glaro 1 x Aluminum or Brass Combination Umbrella Stand 259 by Glaro Finish Satin Aluminum $162.50 Subtotal $162.50 Shipping $43.65 Coupon/Gift Certificate Total (USD) $206.15 I cancelled the order. Thank you! And now here's the reply: Trashcans Unlimited

I've never received a reply from a business such as this. SAD! I'll do my shopping elsewhere. I suggest you do the same! UPDATE: I found the item at OpenTip.com for $165.60 with a shipping charge of 28.62. Total was $194.22. I saved $11.93!
