A note about shipping fees...

I'll admit it, I am a cart abandoner. I will visit my favorite websites and put all the items from my wish list in the cart, usually quality supplements or unusual herbs, then I will enter in my shipping information - but as soon as the shipping fee is calculated, I bail! Well, I used to, until I began this small business and had to research shipping fees for myself. What I learned is that we small business owners don't have any control over shipping fees - they are whatever UPS, FedEx or Canada Post say they are, based on size and weight of the packages. Bigger businesses can eat the shipping fees on bigger orders, which I what I hope to be able to do in the future. Maybe it's time we begin to pressure the government to keep our own oil so that we can all have lower gas prices!! xo R
