Increase in Shipping Charges



Our main shipping service is the USPS.  In part this is because we can ship things online and pay for them directly from PayPal.  This has streamlined our business and shipments very much.  As we are all aware the USPS is increasing its shipping rates.  Sadly, this means that we also must increase our shipping rates.  


We currently have 3 basic shipping fees for the shipments within the United States & Canada:

  • Buttons & Small Items NOT requiring packaging: $2.00
  • First Class Small Items NOT requiring a box: $2.50
  • All items requiring a box, via Priority mail: $5.95 (US Only)
Due to the change in fee structure for the first class parcels (which is 90% of our shipping), we are obligated to change our shipping fees.  While we still want you to get the MOST of our items and do not want to overcharge you for shipping, we will be promoting a NEW shipping fee schedule for all our sales.  These prices will be effective January 19th, exactly one week from today.

New basic shipping fees for shipments to the US only:
  • Buttons & Small Items NOT requiring packaging: $2.50
  • First Class Small Items NOT requiring a box: $3.00
  • All items requiring a box, via Priority mail: $7.00
  • NEW ADDITION: All purchases over $60.00 ship FREE to the Continental US only!
    • Good on single purchase only, not combinable with any other coupons or offers.
New basic shipping fees for shipments to Canada only:
  • Buttons & Small Items NOT requiring packaging: $4.00
  • First Class Small Items NOT requiring a box: $5.00
  • All items requiring a box, via Priority mail: $17.00
  • NEW ADDITION: All purchases over $100.00 ship FREE to Canada only!
    • Good on single purchase only, not combinable with any other coupons or offers.
We hate to raise our shipping rates on our customers.  But we have only 2 options, raise the shipping rates, or raise the price of our items.  We feel our items are fairly priced as we follow a very strict and basic formula to price them.  If you are curious how we price our items, please visit this blog post.  The new offer of FREE SHIPPING is a gift for all of our customer.

Everything seems to get more expensive. I believe customers will understand your position.
