If you join our mailing list, you will receive a discount code for 10% off of your first order!! We also send out occasional newsletters for seasonal discounts and special offers, as well as new product announcements.

Sorry, we no longer have a wholesale program. We've tried to lower our prices so that even retail buyers have access to the best prices. Be sure to sign up for the mailing list for a 10% discount code, as well as occasional promotional emails.

Yes! With very few exceptions, we will ship anywhere in the world. We try to find the least expensive method possible, while balancing shipping time and cost.

We do our best to keep shipping costs as low as possible. If for some reason the shopping bag seems to be quoting a very high shipping cost, then it is probably trying to do something wrong. We do consolidate shipping as much as possible, and if you end up paying for a more expensive service than what is required, we will automatically refund the excess. Also feel free to contact us if you have concerns or would like a manually computed shipping quote.

Shipping supplies are surprisingly expensive! We use the modest handling charge to help offset the cost of the protective packaging we use while we pack... for example, bubble bags cost about $0.90 each, and we often use 2 per shipment. Larger orders require double-thick-walled boxes, which can cost $4-6 each.

For customers who purchase Priority Mail or other expedited shipping methods, I attempt to ship by the next business day. For customers who use my "Free Shipping over $75" promotion, I ship these out Monday afternoons. I try, but can't guarantee, to do an additional free shipping run later in the week, typically on Thursday or Friday.
