Sam's Club – Shipping charge?

I am sure multiple people have already complained about the charge for shipping but...I too am appalled at the fee. I normally go to the store and shop in person about once every 3 months. I recently purchased a Keurig and the store has the best price on Folgers Pods in a large quantity. I ordered these and could not believe an $8.00 shipping fee. I went ahead and paid it for this shipment as I needed them sooner than I was driving near the store. Living in a rural area and being cost conscious on gas expense, I would order things online for delivery if it was just a small item but no more for this. I can pay the higher price at other local stores for what I am charged for shipping. It removes Sam's from being a competitively priced option.
