Um... $38 is not an unreasonable amount for a case to cost for shipping. Most places will charge that much. (I have bought many cases online, as usually online cost of case+shipping is still usually less than local cost of case + sales tax).

I can't afford their outrageous shipping prices (it came to $38 for a case!). I'm trying to get the ACM chapter at the U of M to contact the only Bawls distributor in Minnesota (some place out in Roseville off 36). Then I'd be able to buy a case off them occassionally. I drink 2 bottles a day minimum and am afraid of what will happen if I stop :) I had to give up coffee though. I swear it was eating my stomach away. Anyway, I bet since Realtime is a business, you could call up the distributor and say that you want to stock Bawls for your employees. In theory, they have no reason not to deny you access to the sweetness that is Bawls.
