    I figured you threw in extra for old times sake! ;) I ordered five bags for free shipping, FedEx said it weighed 115 lbs.. Maybe those are some sturdy boxes?

    @stlcharcoal...just checked your site on my phone, didn't see a way to purchase your charcoal. Noticed the OP  mentioned free FedEx Shipping. Based upon your rave reviews would love to try some of your charcoal...being in the PNW have never seen it locally.

    Gotcha.....that makes sense.

    Each bag is probably about 21# with the overage and weight of the paper bag.  That's 105# and figure 5# for each cardboard box=115#.  Don't let anyone fool you--packaging is expensive (nationally stats show an average of 9% of the cost is paying for the packaging......said can be up to 40% in some cases which is believable with some products.)

    You would've thought it was an old school drop ship the way the FedEx guy was fuming when he carried it to the front door lol
