PSA/small business RAVE: Bearly Art glue shipping cost

I guess if I had followed through on scrapbook dot com there might've been some cheaper shipping options on the full checkout page, but I was VERY happy to get it shipped free directly from the BA company. It arrived from Texas today, priority mail, 2.5 days. I imagine they can afford to do that because their profit margin is higher if they retail directly. I'm very happy to support a small business instead of a bigger or massive one (I think amazon has enough money) and it didn't even cost me more

Off to refill my glue bottle!

Yes. I liked Nuvo a lot too, but a friend gifted me a big bottle of Bearly Art and it has lasted me so long, it's really good value! And the fine tip applicator works well for die cuts. BA is much thinner than Nuvo, which surprised me, but it works well and it's easy to add fine dots or lines onto the back of tiny things. I was gifted the full kit which has a 4oz bottle which is what I use on my desk, and a big refill bottle. It's a bit pricey to start with but that has lasted since Sept 2021, and I make A LOT of cards (maybe 600 a year? maybe more?) 

Climate seems to have an influence on adhesives but I've only heard good things about BA (and Nuvo). BA recovers from being frozen so it's not going to get ruined if it's shipped in the winter in a cold place, but from what I can tell that and price are about its only major differences from every other glue. Everyone seems to have their fav but they all seem pretty good to me. 

My gluing is usually pretty messy so I think I would've noticed if it had any shine to it, but I can test for you. It definitely doesn't dry tacky if it squidges out, which is my biggest peeve. I believe BA has a much thinner consistency than MMM.
