UPS charges us $8.08 for under-a-pound boxes to major metropolitan areas in California. If you live in a van down by the river, it costs (us) more. A typical box weight here is 5 pounds. To the midwest, it costs (us) about $11. Alaska and Hawaii cost more, for sure.
I wish we could get around UPS, but the other companies (FedX, USPS) either charge more or don't have tracking. Plus, the shippers are now super close buddies with Barry, our UPS guy, and even if FEDX got cheaper, it would take quite the Venezuelan FedX account manageress to get Robert and Vaughn to voluntarily, willingly, switch from UPS. It's not impossible, but unlikely. Our flat rate of $8 is below our cost, but in my head I'm still a 13- year old ordering from L.L. Bean and paying nothing. Still, we may have to raise rates. The thing of it is, we don't sell anything ending in a 9, and that's what a dollar increase would be. Another dollar, and it's into the double-digits, which seems a lot higher. Eight is magic here, for now. G -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
