We're Going Postal!

*Postal rates increased as of 5-12-08.  Click here for more info.

We have now implemented a new system for shipping U.S. Priority Mail & Flat Rate Boxes
in the continental United States, Hawaii & Alaska for small orders!
*Priority Mail shipping is not automatically applied, you must request this method*
Go Postal with us!

Regular Priority Mail US Flat Rate APO/FPO Flat Rate International Flat Rate

 
Regular Priority Mail

Priority Mail orders under 1 pound* are only $4.80! (not including insurance)
*Total weight including box and packing materials.
With UPS, a 1 lb package costs an average of $8.00 (depending on your area, and fuel surcharges)… so this will save you over $3.00 every time you need a small item in a hurry!  So if you just need a couple of dyes, or maybe a pack of wicks…

Here's how it works:

If you choose this shipping option and your box weighs more than 1 pound, you will be charged extra (amount will depend on your zip code zone, see chart below).  If your order is over 2 lbs, it will be shipped UPS and you will be charged the regular UPS shipping rate.  We're sorry, but due to processing time constraints we cannot contact each customer in this case, so you will not be contacted prior to shipping if your shipping weight is over and your rate changes.

Please note, that the US Priority Mail method is not automatically insured by the post office!
We require packages over $25 in value to be insured.  The insurance charge will be automatically added to your order if your order is $25 or more.  Insurance rates are $1.70 (for $0.01 up to$50) ,$2.15 (for $50.01 up to $100 value) , $2.60 (for $101.00 up to $200 value).  Postal insurance covers the items shipped only, not the cost of the postage.

We regret that we cannot be responsible for replacing or refunding any orders lost or damaged during postal shipping if it is not insured, so if you choose not to insure your orders of $25 or less, it is at your own risk.  We have added this shipping option as a courtesy for customers who want a low-cost shipping alternative for samples & small orders. However, as a trade-off for the lower-cost shipping option, you also accept the risk and responsibility for loss or damage of any items shipped via USPS priority mail un-insured.  If this is of concern to you, then please purchase postal insurance, or choose UPS (United Parcel Service) for your shipment, as UPS packages are automatically insured for up to $100 value (thereafter you are charged an insurance fee for every $100 in value).

Delivery Confirmation is included with your Priority Mail shipment. You will be sent notification and tracking by email when your Priority Mail package ships.  Please retain this information to track your package.

This shipping option is currently being offered on a trial basis.  If we determine that too many packages are being reported as lost or damaged, we may discontinue this option at any time without advance notice.

Priority Mail delivery time is not guaranteed!  Priority Mail packages do not ship out the same day as our mail is picked up early in the morning, so your Priority Mail order will usually ship the following day (or later depending on current average order processing time). Most priority packages will arrive in 2 - 3 days, but the post office does not guarantee this time frame.  No postage refunds will be given if your package takes longer to arrive.

* Total package weight includes the weight of the box itself and packing material, as well as the products inside.  Please take into consideration that the small & large priority boxes weigh up to 2.75 ounces themselves, plus if there needs to be 1 or 2 oz of packing paper to pad the products inside, your actual product weight cannot exceed 11 ounces to make the package 1 lb or less.
