USPS Price Increase

[wickedgoddess]

Today the USPS increased its prices for both domestic and international shipping.

 

While the domestic increase is small enough for us to absorb, the international increase is pretty hefty.

 

As of today, our shipping rates are as follows:

 

 

 

Domestic shipping rates for the US are as follows:

 

Orders totaling up to $150.00: $7.50

…up to $300.00: $12.00

…up to $500.00: $14.00

 

International shipping costs vary depending on the location we’re shipping to and the weight of the package. The latter is determined by the number of bottles that we’re sending out.

 

We use USPS Flat Rate on most international shipments. The Flat Rate service offered by USPS features a fixed price per package, regardless of weight. As a rule, we can fit up to 24 items in International Flat Rate packaging with occasional exceptions.

 

The International Flat Rate shipping fee is $19.00 for all orders up to 24 bottles; the rate jumps to $43.00 on orders containing more that 20 items that won’t entirely fit in the Flat Rate box. Shipping is free for all orders that exceed $500.

 

For Canadian orders, $15.00 will cover shipments up to 24 items; the price is $28.00 for shipping over 24 items.

 

For Eastern European countires, such as Russia, Czech Republic, Moldova or Poland, $20.00 will cover shipments up to 24 items; the price is $50.00 for shipping over 24 items.

 

Shipping costs will be waived for all orders over $500.00, both domestic and international.

 

 

 

This pricing applies to both Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab and Twilight Alchemy Lab. Because Black Phoenix Trading Post’s shipping grid is more complex, they will be issuing their revised shipping scale within the next few days.
