They're raising the prices on lots of things. I used to look forward to buying phenibut from them, but its getting to the point where I might have to start looking for a new, less expensive source. Shipping itself is always $8 atleast - Any recommendations?

Touche my man! Not related but kind of, New Zealand's supermarkets do the same thing as those other sellers, prices are high, lots of 'deals'... You never get a good price. We have only two companies who provide our 3 main national supermarkets.. if ND ever got in to groceries...lol (that was way off topic lol)

It sucks because those price games work on a lot of people. It's human nature to want to feel like you got a deal. I don't blame people. I like feeling like I got a deal, too. It just eventually leads to a market that is a bastardized mess of price games. I prefer consistent and simple.
Groceries is a whole other ballgame. We have only recently got into the retail side of things with Natrium, and it is a whole other world... There are middle men after middle men, and you need to make relationships with the right people to even think about getting into stores, much less getting good placement in them. Then there are backdoor deals with other brands that try and lock you out of the store, and they threaten to pull their already well performing products if the store allows other competing brands in. It's night and day different than what we are used to, and we are only now trying to navigate our way through it. I have thought it would be nice to have our own stores for people to go in and buy our brand's products. It's a lot more overhead, but sometimes it seems like it would be easier than getting into existing stores!
