    Online Powder Shipment

    Ok, so I've never bought any powder online. I know about the HAZMAT charge, but the only options it's giving me for shipment is overnight or 2nd day air($202 and 102, respectively). Is this how you have to ship it? I'm looking to get 13 or maybe 18lbs from Midway......What's the deal?
