Shipping Rate Information

All orders are shipped via the United States Postal Service (USPS) unless special arrangements are made at the time of your order.

Please drop us an e-mail for special requests.

Effective October 20, 2026, our s&h calculations were adjusted to increase the accuracy of the USPS commercially discounted rates used to mail your order.

In the past, we have included a combined s&h amount for your order. As of this adjustment, you will now see a line item for the USPS postage amount and a line item for a handling fee. The handling amount covers the cost of envelopes, boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper & tape, mailing labels, our mailing service, etc. There's also a few pennies to pay Donna for her labor too ;>) .

Outdated information below for your review. It's interesting (and frustrating) to see how the USPS rates continue to increase rapidly.

NOTE: Effective April 26, 2026, the USPS implemented another rate increase! This increase was termed an "emergency" increase to cover rising costs in fuel, trucking, and vehicle maintenance with an expiration of January 17, 2027.

NOTE: In addition to the USPS Holiday Rate Increase in October 2025, on January 18, 2026, the USPS implemented a 6-8% rate increase that primarily affects the "package and parcel" categories, which is how the majority of our items are shipped. In real terms, this increase means approximately a 40 cent rate above the 2025 holiday rates. To your benefit, we are able to offer discounted USPS rates due to our commercial mailing status.
