Current domestic shipping
rates: (See below note on global shipping
rates)
3/14/2008-Once again we are forced to increase our shipping
rates. We are truly sorry to have to pass this expense on to you and
have tried to avoid this. However; it became evident we had no
choice when we had an order totaling $11.45, with shipping and our cost
to ship was $11.10. If you believe the item (s) you're purchasing
would warrant a lesser shipping charge, please contact us before
finalizing your order. We are more than happy to reduce our shipping
charges to the actual cost. If you do not contact us and we are able to
ship your item (s) for substantially ($3.00 or more) less than what was
charged, we will automatically refund the difference.
Further
down on this page we address customized shipping plans, so please feel
free to take advantage of this offer if you feel the item (s) you've
ordered could ship for less.

We have no
problem shipping outside our domestic shipping zones and in fact we
welcome global business - with the following caveat: We must
require an additional amount to cover postage to ship out of the United
States. We will contact you with information on various shipping
options and rates, however; we will not ship your order until you have
paid the additional amount due, if any.

Shipping Cost Explanation |
Shipping charges are
automatically added to your purchase by PayPal and are based upon the above
calculations. PayPal cannot offer us a solution for preset shipping
calculations versus actual weight and destination calculations. The 3rd
party software they do offer still doesn't address our actual needs.
Therefore, we must stay with the shipping calculation based on dollars
spent.
Please read the following
message:
The cost of shipping is an
ongoing issue for us since there is no way for us to second guess the
total weight or in what geographical location your order will be
shipped, all of which factor in when calculating the actual shipping
charges. As much as we would like to cover 100% of the shipping charges,
we just cannot and continue to keep our prices lower than most.
In some cases we've even had to price an item
a little bit more than what we would like to charge and that's solely to
try and compensate for the weight factor. We understand completely
if this is something you just do not want to deal with. But we hope
you'll give us a chance to work something out that's beneficial to us
both. We honestly have no problem with customizing your shipping charges
so that you're not paying more than actual cost.
Email us at
sharon@gone-tomorrow.com and we will make sure your shipping charges are
as accurate and as inexpensive as possible for your particular your order. You will still
be able to use PayPal for the
purchase, but you will ultimately bypass the shopping cart when finalizing
your order.
Insurance: We do not
automatically add insurance to our shipments through the post office. If your item (s) is shipped
via FedEx or DHL, your items are automatically insured up to $100. We
always opt for and each company charges a small amount for every $100 in
value over the initial $100, however, that cost is not passed on to you.
We use the amount you paid to declare the
value of the item (s) and not the actual or market value. We will always
ship by the least expensive method. If you believe your item should be insured
beyond what is described above, please contact us via
email.
Thank you!
