As for the cost per ounce...I can give a ballpark estimate but it really depends on shipping, which I'll be paying for myself by supplying them with a prepaid label (their own shipping estimate was crazy expensive). At this point, I can't get a shipping estimate until I know the dimensions of their box, which they can't tell me until they know how much I want to buy. My current calculations peg it at $6 per ounce for the 800 fp duck and $7.75 per ounce for the 850fp goose down. Shipping to each of you isn't factored in either, but it shouldn't be too much, especially since I get shipping discounts from work (I'm talking $2-3 for overnight fedex). My time and packaging will cost nothing, you guys have been great. Figured it's my way to contribute.
