I always divide the total price, including shipping, by the # of lbs..
Yes shipping is high, due to hazardous substance regs, and... the weight, depending on the amount ordered.

I also watch for specials, also.
I have always saved a bundle ordering online over the walk in prices in stores......

It looks like the 10lb order was the only free shipping option.  That would have been about $3.50 per pound.  It looks like you will be paying a bit less than $2.00 per pound, shipping included, but boy, that's a lot of lye.
