why does it say 16-ounce Jars (Pack of 4), while the shipping weight is 3 lb?

I am going to assume that the listed shipping weight is simply incorrect because I did receive 4 16oz jars of very good tahini.

Weight and volume do not directly correspond. The old adage about a pint being a pound is not true. For example honey is a pound per cup. And my quart canning jars hold exactly 3 cups of water to the very top of the rim!! I had an empty tahini bottle and poured 2 cups of water into it with room to spare. I like this brand because the bottle has stirring room!

Not sure. I've seen these small discrepancies before on Amazon. With this product you do receive 4 x 16 oz plastic jars with cellophane seal. The product was excellent and came quite fresh with little need to stir the bottom a lot. But you always need to stir the thick part at the bottom or the Tehini will not be consistently thick and smooth.

I don't know for sure, but I assume that the box & packing material are part of the shipping weight. It's very common to see that kind of weight difference.

I'm guessing that's a typo and supposed to be 22.6 oz - the jar was simply wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap and thrown in an amazon box, so there's no way it was 22.6 pounds!

It's 16oz. On the label it's scent number 17, perhaps that's the confusion. PS. I love it!

No, it means there are 3 jars in the package, and there is just one package -- 3 jars total.

It shows Item Weight as 5 pounds, which makes perfect sense, but Shipping Weight as 21 pounds. It must be an error. The only way I can imagine the shipping weight being that much is if it were a package deal including 4 speakers.

No, not the total weight. EACH of the 4 jars is 26 ounces, so you get a total of 104 ounces.

No, it's 125 and 8/10s, or approximately 125 and 13 ounces (that's the 3 oz = .2 pounds thing). It's actually just over three ounces, because if you divide 16 ounces by 10 you get 1.6 ounces; it counts in 2/10s (.2 of a pound), so each .2 is 3.2 ounces. So .8 is 12.8 ounces, or nearly 13 ounces.

The ad said 4 oz. And I have received 4 oz. both times I have ordered it. No problems with my order.

Three. I love the product, but the new "one size box only" I think is an attempt to make more $!!! They used to sell it in plastic jars: 16 oz. is what I bought. Used it for years. You'll find it in health food stores for about the same price-but no shipping costs.

I just checked and there is a sticker placed over the original weight of 16 oz stating that it's 14oz ... I feel ripped off!

It says the shipping weight is 51.6 lbs, so that would mean that there were three 16 lb containers. I also got one container. Definitely misleading.

Just re-weighed everything, with the product box -- the box with all the printed info on it, the one you'd see on the shelf in a retail store (not the shipping box; I don't have that anymore). Comes to 4 lb. 9.75 oz., which is 4.61 lb. (since there are 16 oz per pound). The product details section of the Amazon listing says that the shipping weight is 4.2 pounds. So, if anything, it looks like the seller is charging *less* than the actual weight...

I've always known the container to say 2.2 lb... I suspect that the 2.3 is a typo.

I would email Amazon and ask, just to make sure they don't charge you the 16 pound shipping weight which is obviously wrong. You are right though, I believe (if I remember correctly), the weight listed on the shipping label when I purchased it, was like 4 or 5 pounds.

For what it is worth: I ordered this product and received 1 jar. The information provided did stated "pack of 6" as well as stating "Shipping Weight: 4 pounds", all of which lead to my anticipation of receiving 6 jars. So I ordered it. The end result of this to-good-to-be-true deal was the 1 jar I did receive. The product maker's web page offers this product for less than half and other internet sellers at 1/3 the price of what I paid for 1 jar. I my case, I am just one of the suckers born every minute. So, yes I agree that the ad should be corrected.I received a good product at a lesser quantity than expected and I did not pursue it further, but I was asked to "respond to question" (your comments).

Your question asks about a "shipment". The front page indicates they're selling buy the 8 oz. jar. If you order one "jar" you get one jar in the shipment. If you order 4 "jars" you get 4 jars in the shipment. I don't know what else to tell you.

I just discovered that the product is not a true pound of 16 oz. Wish I would have paid attention because I wouldn't have ordered it.
