SHIPPING RATES (see below)
We are a small business, and need to charge for shipping, but we do not add handling fees. Pricing is averaged by your order cost, it usually averages out to be fair to our customers. If an item is significantly heavy or large, we may adjust to first class shipping if international, and/or request extra shipping. This is rare! NOTE: USA FIRST CLASS is now called "GROUND ADVANTAGE". ..... and charges by the 1lb not the oz :)
We need to ship priority sometimes even if you paid First Class. We appreciate if you're buying a heavy or large item to choose priority mail.
CANADA - USPS offers an additional FLAT RATE of $7.95 for PREPAID Canadian DUTIES AND TAXES.
This is a service offered by the US post office and Canadian CUSTOMS, and not part of our shipping charge. We will include that prepay if your package happens to be small and light and our estimated shipping can accomodate that. Usually it does not. If you would like to PREPAY the DUTIES AND TAXES, we willl let you know and can rebill your card for $7.95, or send a paypal invoice. We will email you to confirm. Apparently this clears customs more quickly, and seems like a good flat rate. Thanks!

SHIPPING RATES
We do NOT charge HANDLING fees, and use United Postal Service for best rates for you.
Since the pandemic, shipping charges have gone up and continue to change. Our shipping rates below may not be updated but will be on the checkout.
Calculated on Checkout (before payment details)
We have chosen the US Postal service, to keep shipping costs reasonable, and have good success with packages shipped through USPS.
Our shipping is calculated according to the subtotal of your order. From our experience, the shipping is usually pretty accurate, and often below what we actually pay. If the shipping you have paid is way less than it will cost us (such as a particularly large heavy international priority shipment), we may need to contact you and charge more for shipping, or ship first class instead of priority.. but this is very rare! But could happen with International Orders.
SHIPPING RATES will be shown at CHECKOUT (before final payment)
