They are super adorable!

One question though.........is it possible for you to use flat rate shipping? You could fit a few blankys in a free priority flate rate shipping box and save the buyer $

For a single blankey you could ship them in an envelope?

Just throwing suggestions out there.

Good luck with your business!

Thanks I'm all up for suggestions Right now I am charging 5.00 shipping for one blanket thats because the box I ship it in is $1.79 (ok well lets say 2.00 with tax)....then 3.00 to ship it off (right there I may be loosing money with 3.00 because it may be more plus all orders have delivery confirmation on them which is .60 (I believe) so thats how I bundled it all up at 5.00 (which I could charge more) but give me more information on your idea I would love to save YTers money on shipping but not sure if I can see how it can go below 5.00 but if so lemme know girl!

P.S. I was trying to fit ARCHIE's blanket in one of them gold large size envelopes and girl that was definetly NO LUCK! (LOL) it was all bulky and it looked VERY TACKY (LOL)......maybe I can see if there are LARGER envelopes but I still have to buy them which is the same with the box.....but didn't you mention something about a FREE box?? How much is the flat rate on them free boxes you mentioned?

Okay, I have about 12 of these blankets. All from YT sellers. The one's I have bought multiples from ship in a flat rate box. You get it free at the post office and you they charge a flat rate fee no matter the weight.

A small is like 4 something and you could fit a couple of your blanky's. I know the next size up is 6.04 here and you fit quite a lot

Just throwing suggestions on saving you and the consumer $$. This way, the person could be more apt to buy more than 1. 5 bucks for 1 blanky is steep to be quite honest.........not to mention 10 dollars for 3.

I hope I don't sound cheap or bad.........I do virtually all my shopping online and shipping is a killer.

Go to your post office and pick some up. You can roll the blankys and put a rubber band (like a rolled taco).

See how many you can fit in each size and then price accordingly. You can add a handling fee because it does take your time and gas money to ship......

I sure did read your reason........that's why I asked. Most people don't know about this (including me).......so just wanted to give you the heads up. No more buying boxes for you

I agree with Jesse. I know when I shop I look at shipping.
Maybe you could get white postal paper and tape and wrap them in that. That might save some money on the boxes or envelopes.

You can also order boxes at usps.com for free because sometimes the post office doesn't have the sizes that you need. USPS also ships the case to you for free--then you don't have to actually purchase boxes. Also-if people pay you using paypal, you can print a shipping label to tape to your box and then delivery confirmation is no charge--you just need a scale to weigh your package. If they don't use paypal, you can create a label on usps.com, print the label and delivery confirmation is also free.

OK SHIPPING CHANGES IS FIX ON MY SITE
