Domestic rates explained...
We aim to make our shipping charges as straightforward and fair as possible. Your shipping fee is directly related to the subtotal of your cart before discounts. This approach (on average) ensures that the shipping cost accurately reflects the size and weight of your order, as well as the complexity of shipping larger or multiple items.
Our shipping fees are designed to cover the actual costs of delivering your order, which vary based on the size, weight, and number of packages, as well as the delivery destination. Managing the logistics of shipping, especially for larger or multiple items, is both complex and costly, particularly for a small business like ours.
By aligning our shipping charges with the cart value, we acknowledge that higher-value orders typically involve larger or more items, necessitating higher shipping costs. This tiered pricing model allows us to provide a transparent indication of the total cost before you reach the checkout and keep our shipping fees as reasonable as possible, balancing the need to cover logistical expenses with the desire to offer you value.
This pricing strategy ensures you're not overcharged for smaller orders, while also reflecting the increased costs associated with shipping larger orders. It’s a balanced approach that allows us to maintain high standards of service across all order sizes.
