Postal HUGE rate increase!

As we are sure you are already aware, the USPS increased rates yet again this January.

We looked at all the alternatives, trying to not increase our base rate shipping as we were losing money on most shipments. We didn't want to up the price for everyone, so we have come up with an alternative.

We have relied almost exclusively on Priority Mail, and that has gone way up. Therefore, we have decided that in order to keep our prices low we have to start using other services. Starting right now, we will be shipping by a combination of Priority Mail (when it is reasonable), USPS Ground Advantage, and UPS Sure Post. The last two are less expensive, and that will allow us to keep our base rate where it is (we hope).

This is the important thing for you: If you need something quickly, just tell us to ship Prioity Mail in your comments box at check-out. If the rate for Prioity Mail is more than the base rate, your shipping cost will be adjusted upward to our cost (and we still get pretty decent discounts off the USPS prices).

Thank you for your understanding.
