$35 for an extract kit, especially something decently hoppy, isn't too bad - especially if your local store isn't MoreBeer or Northern Brewer. (Though I'd feel better about that price if it included Liquid Yeast, and the "extra ingredients")

$15 to ship is a killer.

Liquid yeast is a real pain when it comes to shipping. We would have to charge a couple bucks extra just for the packaging.

I agree 15 dollars is high but shipping 10 or so pounds is about that much.
