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).

Yeah, I got it through Thinkgeek, but never again. 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.
