| What is your shipping rate for domestic orders? It seems USPS is going up a little
bit through the last couple years (which is understandable) I charge $4 for any
order which I can end up losing money on shipping but I feel like keeping a low
and steady shipping rate helps sales come in. Just wondering other sellers thoughts.

Here are my domestic rates:
0-8 oz: $4.00
8-16 oz: $7.00
16+ oz: $10.00
Most of my orders fall into the $4.00 bucket.

I have a fixed rate which is a bit below what it costs to send 350g. This way
I earn some on shipping for small orders (needed as it takes some time to pack,
envelope cost, delivering at post office etc). I loose some money on large orders
which is fine as I get my profit on the actual parts.
Hope this helps, good luck

I charge a flat fee of 4.95 independent of package size and weight. Sometimes
I pay less, sometimes it's more. Average is ok. Since a year I also offer
free shipping on orders over 35, people use that quite a bit.
I'm so glad I got rid of the complex tiers, individual weighted pricing,
etc etc. This is just straightforward, easy, everybody knows what they're
getting, and I've had no complaints at all.

I have small orders go out automatically in envelopes at a flat rate of $5 and
larger orders go out by package. For packages the cost is determined by weight,
and I set it to manual invoicing.
