Our new shipping rates
There are several changes to our shipping rate tables.
- The shipping tables are more incremental. This prevents you from jumping into the next shipping bracket at an increase of $20 from adding one t-bolt clamp to your cart.
- We have decreased the estimated weight of over half of our items so that the shipping weight estimates are lower (and much more accurate on large orders with many small, light items), thereby decreasing the shipping cost.
- We have adjusted our rate tables based on the recent USPS shipping rate increases.
- We will no longer ship with USPS Parcel Post.
As illustrated in the table below, USPS has raised Priority Mail rates by as much as 24% for lighter packages and has decreased rates by as much as 20% for heavier packages. The Parcel Post rates are now so comparable what we have decided to just ship everything with Priority.
On average, we anticipate that our shipping rate updates will result in an increase substantially lower than the increase of the USPS rates. This applies to all of our shipping methods.
