Try Amazon ...Christine, don't go to Nordicware. Try Amazon or Cookware.com - both usually have better prices and also free shipping for some models. Generally, if you are only getting the muffin pans type, box size should be small. Once you get to the whole cake bundt pans, the packages get bulky and you will start paying for shipping air. Usually it is more worthwhile if you get more items together. Check the shipping cost at VPost first before placing order.Shirley @ Kokken69https://www.blogger.com/profile/02698926168043709934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708068554052819005.post-79436225373051457642010-04-04T12:48:56.127+08:002010-04-04T12:48:56.127+08:00Haha ok I get the idea.

You want to keep your package as compact as possible to avoid spending money on shipping air. I most probably won't attend her next class. Good for you!

It would be cheaper to order online and shipped over using vpost. I just placed order online for 3 pans. Including shipping, it saved me close to $70.Shirley @ Kokken69https://www.blogger.com/profile/02698926168043709934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8708068554052819005.post-5342328844207956842010-04-03T12:01:23.617+08:002010-04-03T12:01:23.617+08:00Dear Shirley,
