Shipping - a Major FAQ

Shipping.  Yes, it's high.  At this time, my level of shipping qualifies for a commercial base discount which is cheaper than the regular retail you get at the Post Office Counter.

I have been studying the postal charts for hours and come to these conclusions. 

1) The further you are from Seattle, WA the more you will pay.

Let's take the Woven Brown Faux Leather.  A gorgeous piece that weighs in at a whopping 17 ozs.  If you order one piece, I pack it for shipping, you are now paying for 2 lbs because anything over 1 lbs counts for 2 lbs. 

You live in New York, that shipping will cost $10.86.  That's more than the $5 piece of vinyl.

You live in Homer, IL.  The same piece of fabric will still weigh the same, but shipping will cost you $9.70.  You see the pattern. 

Vinyl is heavy.  Smaller orders are going to be expensive to ship compared to the actual cost of what you have ordered.

If you want to order one piece to be on the safe side and make sure it's on the level, contact me.  I'll send you a small sample free.

2) Stick another piece of product in your cart, look at the effect on the shipping rate.

Add another piece.  Look at the shipping rate.  What I am trying to illustrate here is that the discounts increase as the weight increases for UPS and FedEx.  Sometimes at the 5 and 10 lb weights, frequently at higher weights.  Play with the weight in your cart and see what happens.
