If I could rate this transaction ZERO STARS I would, I was disappointed for many reasons.<br /><br />SHIPPING TIME and HIDDEN INFO. and OVER CHARGED for SHIPPING:<br />I ordered this item for a party with plenty of time for shipping, even with standard shipping, but just to be sure I emailed the seller (Bayside Candy) 1 hour after I ordered, to make sure they knew I needed the item before the weekend (it was Tuesday and they are located about an hour from me!)  I finally received an answer and they said the following: "Amazon states that it could take up to two weeks to receive any orders. The shipping service that I provide is 5-8 business days" and that they "do not guarantee that USPS will deliver it by this weekend".  TWO WEEKS delivery time to travel ONE hour away????  I went back to this item page and BURIED far down is a link that gets you to their shipping rates.....saying it could take up to TWENTY ONE DAYS for an item to be delivered. Read further, to their "disclaimer" and it says the item might not even be as the website describes!  VERY interesting how they don't feel the need to put all this shipping information up front in the DESCRIPTION section, and they can basically send you ANY ingredients they want, saying it is a substitution?  Also check their web page and it states they ship in 2 days after you place order and it takes 4 to 14 days or as long as 21 days...so which is it?  NEXT they state: "We will send your order within 2-3 business days using USPS priority mail flat rate service." Well they use the flat rate envelope alright, should cost $4.95 so why was I charged $6.99 for shipping?<br /><br />BAD WRAPPING/PACKING and SHIPPING and TASTE!<br />Well when the item finally did arrive it was FIVE pounds of gummy frogs SQUASHED in a skinny paper Priority ENVELOPE!!!  you know, those flat ones meant for a few paper documents! ...only this one was bulging at the seams in my mailbox in hot summer weather! So much for their temperature control "stored in a climate controlled room" claim (I guess once it leaves their facility they no longer care about that).  NO wrapping or padding whatsoever, just the plastic bag of FIVE pounds of candy stuffed into a too-small envelope!  This product SHOULD have at LEAST been shipped in a small cardboard box with bubble wrap or SOME insulated padding.  Upon opening the envelope the gummy frogs were all stuck together, and tasted quite rubbery (and I LIKE, and am familiar with, textures of other gummy candy)... but this was like trying to eat rubber!) The taste was faint and not very apple-like. In fact it was quite awful.<br /><br />VERY BAD TRANSACTION AND AWFUL WRAPPING/PACKING/SHIPPING AND HORRIBLE PRODUCT!
