What's the expiration date on them?  Any group buy discount?  If I don't like it, can I send it back for a refund (half or partially eaten)?  Sorry so many questions. ><

Fedex and UPS were the higher priced options according to their web page, but are possible. hmm I may be able to convince someone with an airline discount to ship them at Fedex for me which would be a lot cheaper

I live a few miles away from Minneapolis. But sadly we already bought some GSC. I've killed off 2 boxes already. I need to go get some tums for the acid though... Some nice weather were having huh... I'm kinda hoping to be snowed in so I don't have to go anywhere. Getting home was a sleet slip n' slide.

Hmm $3.50. That means all the girl scouts are ripping me off 50cents per box. $3.50... great deal! But shipping kills the deal :p

You know, technically you're not allowed to ship food by USPS.

Unless you can ship the cookies to Germany I will have to wait until I visit my folks in Shakopee the next time to come grab some.
Could you please check shipping rates? :)

Q: Can I buy Girl Scout Cookies online?

A: Girl Scouts of the USA does not currently allow online sales of Girl Scout Cookies, though we are presently researching a future state where it will be possible for girls to engage consumers in online sales, developing critical and relevant entrepreneurship skills in the process. Our cookie site http://www.GirlScoutCookies.org can help you locate girls selling in your community by Zip Code. Many councils post information on where to find Girl Scout Cookie Booths during the sale or can connect you to a group that is selling in your area.

Well crapola. That is different than what the area's coordinator told people. Every mom out there is spamming facebook constantly doing exactly this which they were told is ok.

Don't want to-do something to get my daughter in trouble, and I haven't sold (just lots of funny comments). So I will close and lock this thread once I figure out how. No harm done and I have become more educated about this and will let this get mentioned to the area lady who told all the moms FB and other online stuff was ok :closed_2:
