If you need to put in a KAF order, this is one of their lower maximums for free shipping. They also have a great price on 4-qt. Staub pots with lids. (It's the price that I paid for one five or six years ago.)
Thanks, BakerAunt, for telling us about this. You have a typo. When I went to their website, it said $59. Even at that, I was able to buyitems on my wish list for the free shipping.
Italian Cook--I went back and checked the email I received from KAF, as well as a second one, and both state free shipping over $49. Maybe you have to be on their email list?
BakerAunt, apparently it pays to be on the KAF e-mail list. Yesterday and this morning, the KAF website says $59 free shipping. So a person would save $10 by having the promo code from the email list.
