Shipping is actually pretty complicated. We try to keep it simple for you. Everywhere we can, we absorb the cost of shipping. When we do charge for shipping (small orders, unusually sized items, far away places and expedited services), it’s simply to make sure we cover enough of the cost to still make a fair margin. Overall, we lose money on shipping … so we just do our best to strike a fair balance.
