I would have loved to have tried the flour, but I can only rate what I received. Normally I would find it unfair to include the delivery experience in the product rating, but "shipping only" is the only option for me to purchase this flour so I must include the delivery as part of the product rating. If I could buy this locally, I would rate the product as the product stands on its own.
Since Sam's now has a $50 minimum for free shipping, I decided to add a bag to my smallish shipping order to push it over the $50 limit. Sam's packed and shipped the $10 flour separately as I expected they would. The package was shipped on time and it would have arrived on time, but FedEx delayed the package on the day it was supposed to be delivered. They actually had it on the truck outside my house, but they instead drove it back to the FedEx warehouse for "package inspection". At this point I knew I would not be receiving an intact bag of flour. What I received a day late was a crushed, opened, broken box, that was sloppily covered in clear packing tape that was coated in flour. While clearly FedWrecks has some responsibility for the package handling, Sam's also bears responsibility for not packing a 25 pound bag of flour properly. FedEx "should" have returned it to Sam's so it could be replaced, but instead it appears FedEx tried to "fix" the package disaster with packing tape and make the delivery anyway.
Since you cannot return the flour online, it was returned to the local Club the same day it was received, as shipped, and unopened. Literally, I never opened the packing box and just returned the entire box as received. The return process was smooth, but overall it's a waste of time and money to expect Sam's to be able to safely deliver a 25 pound bag of flour across from hundred's of miles away. As it stands, the experience from start to finish probably cost magnitudes more in gas and working wages than the simple $10 retail price of a bag of flour. You can bet that cost will be added to some other product in your total grocery bill. Sam's... You can do better.
I'd like to try the flour someday, but I cannot in good conscience keep ordering low priced, shipping only item that has a low chance of arriving intact.
