I Try To Provide The Fastest Shipping & Still Keep Costs As Low As Possible For My Customers. I Have Tried To Calculate Shipping Within A Few Cents Of My Actual Cost. Feel Free To Ask Questions About Combined Shipping, Discounts & Reduced Alternative Shipping Options If You Think It Will Save You $$. Priority Mail Is Used Whenever Cost Effective. Example, My Cost For A 1 LB. Package Is $4.99, PLUS INSURANCE If An Item Fits In A Flat Rate Box, Any Weight, It Costs $8.99, PLUS INSURANCE. I Do Not “PAD” The Cost Of Shipping, I Think That Unfair. If Cost Gets Too High I Will Use Parcel Post Or UPS Ground To Save You Money But It Does Take Longer. MY GOAL IS NOT TO OVERCHARGE AND TO MAKE YOUR SHOPPING EXPERIENCE FUN!
