   Watch that shipping charge for multiple items!, August 23, 2010

   If you order more than one of these Equal sweetener tablet dispensers, BE AWARE that while they are all shipped in a single package with negligible weight [** even ==10== of these dispensers would not weigh more than a half-pound, if even that!], you will be charged $1.99 shipping and handling for EACH DISPENSER in your multiple dispenser order! I wrote to the seller about this matter and through Amazon but I did not receive a response from the seller. In my case, I ordered 6 Equal dispensers which amounts to $17.34 but then I was charged $11.94 for shipping [$1.99 for ‘each’ dispenser] even though they were shipped together in a single package with very negligible package weight. I asked the seller to perhaps consider [no matter who orders the product] a more reasonable [read: equitable] shipping and handling charge based on the actual weight of the package and the fact that the multiple item order is shipped in one single package, but as I said, and to date, I received no response from the seller.

   So too, various of these dispensers have tablet jamming problems and you’ve got to often bang on the thing to get the small tablet out in one piece. Further, it’s difficult to find these tablet dispensers in supermarkets, the why of which escapes me, but when they first came out, the dispenser had a small lid on the bottom and the tablets came out intact and freely but when the Equal folks moved to the newer tablet ‘click’ dispensers, the tablet jamming became a problem and this ‘may’ account for the Equal folks going with the sweetener ‘granule’ or sweetener ‘powder’ packets for their sweetener vs the hard tablet dispensers.

   I think charging $1.99 for ‘each’ dispenser but which is shipped in a ‘single’ package borders on shipping and handling fee inequity. In the future, I’ll simply order the dispensers one by one and ‘then’ I can at least justify the seller shipping and handling charge even though I’ll wind up paying the same but it would then have to be sent in multiple packages! I think the seller would do much better in ‘adjusting’ the shipping fee for multiple item orders that they mail out in one package and based on true mailing weight considerations.

   AWESOMENESS !!! In fact, while at a restaurant where they had no sweetner, I got this outta my purse and had 3 women ask 1- where I got it (so of course I said Amazon.com), how much was it – (twas an add on w/purchase of $25.00) & last but not least – may they have 2 tablets, of which I willingly obliged.

   Easy way to always have Equal available, May 18, 2016

   Have used this product for a long time and love it. It can be easily carried in a pocket/purse without fear of spilling as is the case with the paper packets of the same product. Also, since 2 tablets are equal to the sweetener in one paper packet of Equal, if you like to use only a half packet of Equal (as I do), one tablet is exactly the right amount. It’s true that occasionally the tablets get a bit crumbled when you try to dispense them, but i don’t find that to be a deal-breaker when traded off against the convenience of this dispenser. I keep one in my car, one at my desk, and always bring one when I travel. When visiting friends who only offer me sugar for my coffee, I’m happy to have this dispenser handy!
