Hello my friends, I am considering buying 500-1000lbs of clay and having it shipped. Since I asked about whether it could be sent dry to save on shipping cost (and I was told it actually cost $0.03 more), the estimate I was sent is for "DRY". I have to drive hundreds of miles to pick up clay, so shipping is not unreasonable, especially considering time and gas prices. Researching how much per pound of the processed clay we buy runs from 25 -50 pounds per 100 (please correct me if I am wrong!), is it possible that I would be buying up to 25-50% more clay if I buy it per pound dry? The unit price was $0.41/pound which by my calculation would be $5.125 or $6.56 (depending on amount of water added for a 25 pound bag of clay if I processed the clay myself. Which I am happy to do BTW.... sounds like famous last words to me too. If I'm right, enjoy my revelation with me, if I'm wrong I appreciate your kind wisdom. Sincerely, Nancy E (dba Barefoot Arts)
