Shipping fee changes

It may sound a little lame but I do get a thrill when I have customers from France, Britain, Australia, Canada, Dubai, and many more countries.

Just last week the majority of my orders were international so you can imagine my shock when I was creating my shipping labels that the cost had more than doubled for my international customers.

I really don't know what this will do for my international customers, hopefully this segment will continue to grow. But I totally understand if it does not.

Tonight I went through all my items in the shop and changed my shipping fees.

United States is the same at $2.50

European Union $10

Australia $10

Canada $7

Everywhere else is $10

Please check out Brittany's Best Blog for a helpful calculator to see what your new shipping fees may be. My average package weight is about 6 oz.

Ways I can ease the pain:

- I will never charge for additional items.

- If your order is $50 or more I will deduct $2.50 from your shipping fees.

- When I find out the exact postage amount and it is less than what you paid I will refund the difference.

- If the postage is over the amount by $1 I will cover it, if it is more I will notify you via etsy and send you invoice for the difference.

- I have rarely covered the expense of my packaging, and it looks like that will continue to be the case. I chalk it up to the cost of doing business.

- I always ask if you want your package insured if it is worth $100 or more. In this case I will keep the $2.50 refund for insurance and pay any difference.

- I have a new weekly special section in the shop which I will be updating every Wednesday (Check my shop announcement for exact dates). The specials last for only one week, when they are replaced by a new shop special. So if you are interested in the item act within the week.
