Shipping Costs - Why Priority?
Priority Mail is used because its the best deal for our customers.
Shipping costs, unfortunately. And the Post Office just increased their prices!
I can offer shipping starting from $6.95 by using Priority and this is basically at my cost. If I used UPS, I would need to charge $10 for the first dress and your dress would take longer to get there! Shipping I try to keep at our cost. Sometimes it costs more than I charge, and sometimes less. The headache of using a flat shipping charge.
And 1st class, it is only good for very light weight items, which dresses usually weigh more than 3.5 oz.
Parcel Post - Slightly cheaper than priority, but takes a LOT longer (2 weeks vs. 3 days for a little less) and a LOT more items get damaged.
May be I just start offering parcel post at $5.95 for the first item. I just don't see it as being worth it honestly.
And I offer free shipping for orders over $85
