The answer might be that you have to charge more for the product or more for shipping.
Could you send the beds un-stuffed? It's easy to find poly-fill or even buy pillows and use the stuffing from the pillows. That's the easy part. It's the sewing that's the hard part (I am currently banned from using the rotary cutter due to nearly needing stitches....  ) Maybe give people the option of paying more for shipping or stuffing themselves? |
I will look into fed-ex then!!!!
I don't think I would sell them un-stuffed just because I think that is one of the things that makes my beds great...the way they are stuffed. Plus, the customer would have to do some sewing after stuffing the bed to close up the end
now...you better be careful!!! you need your fingers, silly
