I hate when I have to make announcements like this, but unfortunately with the ever increasing freight costs I can no longer absorb the dangerous goods fee that the courier charges me for sending sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide.
I regret to say that from today 08/10/15 we now have to pass on that surcharge to our customers. All orders containing lye will have a $7.50 dangerous goods surcharge added to the regular freight cost.
Also, due to strict packaging regulations lye can only be sent in 1kg buckets, which means if you order more than 1kg you will receive multiple 1kg buckets.
We only charge one $7.50 fee when you order up to 5kg of lye, so in order to save costs it might be a good idea to buy in larger quantities to save paying multiple surcharges over time.
