Thanks for responding. I guess that its a good thing that they don't deliver to my area, ~$3 for 10 fl oz. (When you buy in bulk) is pretty steep.

Wal-Mart carries Vita Coco @ $4 for 33 fl oz. Again, the freshness seems to vary so its not as good of a product.

Right, the price is steep. The thing is that the coconut water expires much quicker because it is raw, so I'm sure that is factored into the price. Compare the price of fresh fruit to canned fruit, I'm guessing the markup will be similar. Maybe not as high since coconut water can be marked to yuppy types. Still, buy one and have a taste when you can; it's a flavor experience.
