Faster vs cheaper shipping

**peanuts** · 10-27-2011, 10:46

cheap, what i have ordered from you has shown up in 2-3 days. that is one of the reason i don't order online much is the shipping... and besides, your mdse is small and does not weigh much...reg mail is just fine.!!(savings pennies for the latest dutch product..)

Hey man it don't matter to me as long as I get my darn Dutchware, hehe!

Seriously no matter what you decide I will still get gear from you!

Worked well for me. I was surprised and happy at the way you shipped to me.

Agree with pgibson.....one benefit with customers paying via paypal is the first class shipping. When not shipping priority, I ship first class that way most of the time. That saves me many trips to the post office. Contact pgibson!!

I think you should hand deliver each shipment down the chimneys of customers at night, like a Ti Santa.

Or keep it the same. It's fair priced and usually not too slow (but I do live close).

I have to go to the post office every day and get everything weighed.
I don't get any tracking
It takes 3 to 7 days instead of 2 to 3 for priority.
I reduce my packaging to just what is needed.

I bought a small digital scale (up to 3lbs, metric) for $20 or so at Walmart.
I like Priority Mail mainly because I can print all my shipping from my home computer, place shipments in my mailbox and not have to go to the Post Office. Printing at home is a little cheaper than Post Office rates too, and delivery confirmation is free vs $.70 at PO. All the shipping envelopes are free too. I get them in bulk, my Post Office folks all know my name and about the Packa. You still have to go to the Post Office for international orders, but you can print out the postage and customs forms at home first. Saves a bunch of time over hand writing those customs forms.

when it comes to reciving stuff . i want two things...1-cheapest works for me 2- and whatever servivce the shipper uses, it does me no good if the service won't leave it at my door step,mail box, what have you. in the case of the usp, they try to deliver it once and after that it's either phone tag or i end up having to make a trip to the po station to pick up (so much for convience)

Great feedback. I expected a mixed bag but I like to reduce tha packaging as much as possible. Paul expect that PM, just not to day I am going to bed. Still would love a lesson.

I will agree with others and state that I like how small your packaging is. Quite frankly; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

If somebody wants it differently, let them know that options are available but it will cost them. I prefer to have a tracking number on all of my purchases and would gladly pay more to have that feature.
