Kyhorse.com's $7.50 Flat
Rate Shipping
| Yes...after
holding the line at $5 for about 10 years we have
finally been forced to raise our shipping and handling
price to $7.50 due to the January 2011 simultaneous
rate increases of UPS, FedEx and USPS. We are sorry,
but it finally reached the point where we either had
to go up on that or raise our prices and have a
minimum order. |
We are just a little "hole-in-the-wall
outfit." We do not have a large warehouse or extensive buying
power*. Our prices reflect an honest mark-up that we can
live with. Since we cannot always beat (and have found we
sleep better if we do not give it a lot of thought) the prices of our larger online
and mail order competitors we have carved out our own niche
as it were.
We charge $7.50 per order shipping. It's
that simple.
-
Order one tube of wormer...$7.50 shipping
-
Order one hundred tubes of
wormer...$7.50
shipping
-
Think of it as a built-in quantity
discount: The more you purchase the more you save.
There are of course certain drawbacks to
this policy.
-
Because the $7.50 is all we get to cover
our shipping and handling costs we generally try to ship
all orders complete. This may mean your order goes out a
day or two later while we scramble to fill in any items
we didn't have in stock.
-
The $7.50 covers shipping only to the
continental United States. That would be defined as...
-
Alaska and Hawaii usually cost us
a lot more to ship to. Orders from these states can
usually expect to receive an Email with a bill for additional
shipping costs if the item weighs more than a pound or
two.
-
We just about always ship orders that
weigh over two pounds via UPS or Fed Ex Ground which
are just about always cheaper than USPS Priority
Mail except on smaller items. If you insist on USPS shipping we reserve the
right to invoice you for anything over the $7.50 in
additional shipping costs.
(note: if your order displays your address as a P.O.
Box we will email you requesting a street address for
this reason)
-
We do not ship outside of the United
States at this time. It is expensive and requires
extra paperwork and we are just too busy farming to
figure it out. And if we do start shipping outside of
the U.S. you can darn well bet it will cost you more
than seven fifty.
* The really cool thing
about our prices as compared to our larger competitors is
that if you find a lower price here than there you can darn
well bet that we are paying as much if not more for the same
product and they are just making more money off of you.
