i am in the process of possibly ordering some Stay Steady original flavor cereal at $ 5.39 a box. I got to step 2 out of 4 and it showed a subtotal of $ 31.74 for 6 boxes but it didn't say anything about shipping charges. When do they show ?

I'm not exactly sure what step it is, but you will see the shipping before you click submit. This is the shipping rate from their website: For destinations within the 48 contiguous United States which can be sent by FedEx Ground service, we offer FREE shipping for orders totaling $99 or more of products and a flat rate shipping charge of $6.99 for orders totaling under $99.  As John said, if you live close to Albany, N.Y. you can pick up your order at their warehouse during business hours.

I believe shipping charges are added in step 4. They wait till last. If you order over a certain $ amount it's free shipping. I personally live near the warehouse. So I always pick-up.
