Outrageous Shipping

[Wonderlust]

After spending a good amount of time looking through Maya-ethnobotanicals I was ready to place my order...
This was my order:

Banisteriopsis caapi *White* vine (4) shredded $ 12.50 / 100 g $ 12.50
Artemisia absinthium herb (2) finely powdered $ 0,00 / 50 g $ 0.00
Ilex paraguariensis leaves (2) cut (roasted) $ 0,00 / 50 g $ 0.00
Salvia divinorum leaves (1) whole $ 7.90 / 25 g $ 7.90
Nymphaea caerulea flower (3) cut $ 8.40 / 10 g $ 8.40
Bursera graveolens wood (2) sticks (10-15 cm) $ 4.00 / 25 g $ 4.00
Calea zacatechichi leaves and flowers (3) whole $ 3.20 / 10 g $ 3.20
Mentha piperita leaves, cut $ 2.00 / 50 g $ 2.00
Banisteriopsis caapi *Yellow* leaves (1) whole $ 5.50 / 25 g $ 5.50
* Order Weight: 400 g Total Price: $ 43.50
Promotion Discount: $ -4.35
Total Discount: $ -4.35

Holy shit! $30.00 shipping!? This is outrageous! I can't afford that!

I'm not particularly worried about the Blue Lotus, Calea, or Peppermint since I can get them at an even cheaper price from IAmShaman...but I don't know of any other place that sells Caapi leaves, AND I hear that Maya has really high quality Caapi. Can anyone recommend a good vendor for high quality Caapi leaf AND vine without outrageous prices? Ideally they would also carry whole Salvia leaves, i've been wanting to try a salvia quid for a while now. :d

I only get my Aya supplies from Maya now. Other ethnos I get elsewhere. He's not the cheapest, but this guy has his materials tested before putting them for sale. He quickly refunds products that are unacceptable, and has always had the most potent Chali and Caapi I have found. His chackruna is hit or miss.

For me, the price is well worth it. I've had too many bunk brews to mess around with inferior plants, wasting more money in the end.

So, unless another memeber has give you the secrete Maya password for free shipping I suggest you buy what you can elsewhere and stick with Aya products from Maya.
