Depends on your usage for one, cost of chemicals plus shipping and a kicker, most shipping/trucking companies DO NOT off load the drums, they move it to the end of truck and you have to remove it. Some might but it right on the ground but not inside your place.

Try and find a local company to buy from or as I do with Zep I go to their warehouse and pick up my orders.

When having to deal with shipping costs, the most economical way is to try and purchase concentrates or in crystal/powder form. With diluted or pre-mixed chemicals, you end up paying shipping charges for a lot of water.
