Hi. Well we assume that it’s because of “gas prices”, BUT be prepared…
We weren’t aware until today BUT according to the small sign inside the Post Office all packages over 22″ in length now have an added…FOUR DOLLARS…to the cost of mailing. Folks who are sellers through EBAY and ETSY and the like were aware of these changes before we were but it’s still alarming. $50 shipping for one tube to Toronto yesterday. Joy.
Being that we usually acutally lose about $1-$3 dollars on each order related to shipping in the form of a nice inner tube, wrapping paper, labor and fuel to travel to the Post Office, we find this added cost to be slightly alarming. Sadly it has to be passed along to the consumer.
Of course we assume that these rates will fall again with “gas prices” reduce themselves to previous level. Right? Prices always go back down, right? Riiight.
ANYway, we might not be in the Mail Order business for too much longer at any rate. Stocks are very low across the board and we do try to include bonuses to your shipped tube when they are available. We hope that helps.
Peace and Love and all like that there.
