Agreed, just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. IMO will definitely deter people from buying, however, I am all about helping out a fellow knight, so I don’t mind.
SHIPPING COST REALITY.....
1 lb pkg via UPS/fedEx ground to a residence in Piscataway = over $12+ plus $.40 to $.50 for the envelope/box
Same 1lb pkg to a more rural address in NJ can cost $15-18...for a single shirt or mask. Same for out of state.
FedEx SmartPost, which we would use for smaller/cheaper items will cost $7.63 to $9/10. The pkg gets passed off to USPS and takes longer to delivery
Obviously, a hood or several items then goes in a larger box, weighing and costing more
USPS has Priority Mail. Their envelope, or very tiny box is $8.05, which maybe fits a single t-shirt and then someone has to go to a post office, wait in line for that service. You can set up a pick up, however, we go with FedEx on a daily pick up service and larger box capabilities.
All ears if someone has a better way. Maybe a mask doesn't need to be insured and tracked, but most of our items do. Bezos gets better rates. Typically, we lose $$$ with the flat rate shipping unfortunately.
Can also Venmo and schedule a curbside pick-up
