Tins from The Popcorn Factory have been a part of our Christmas holiday family get togethers for as long as I can remember - 45 years of marriage. My wife always did the ordering.
She died earlier this year, and this year -2022- I continued the tradition for my grown children and grandchildren, albeit on a less-grand scale than my wife usually did.
I found their $26 shipping charge for basically a small $35,1.75 gallon tin of lightweight popcorn to be ridiculous. Some merchants are like that. They like to make extra money by having exorbitant shipping charges.
I know all about cheats. My parents were 100% grifters - con men - their entire lives. That's what The Popcorn Factory is now, apparently. Forget the Christmas Cheer. Probably, 'Holiday Cheer' to them.
After this order, I won't be ordering from them again. Nor will I be ordering any flowers from 1-800-Flowers.
But, I'm sure they have plenty of other naive American customers to keep them in business. My parents depended on people like that.
