2017 USPS Price Increases

I just finished updating all of the shipping details in the Marion's Mittens shop. I know how important it is to keep shipping costs as low as possible while providing many options for speed of delivery. As a result, there are many options to choose from with more accurate calculation of the costs.

The good news:
  • ALL of our items now ship worldwide! This includes pompom garlands and scarves, which previously only shipped to the USA and Canada. 
  • Costs are calculated based on your location and the size/weight of the package. This means if you are ordering a pair of mini mittens you will pay less for shipping than if you had chosen an afghan. (The only exceptions are our garlands and mini hat/mittens sets, which are shipped in small flat rate boxes, and have one cost no matter where you live in the USA.)
  • All items ship in 3 days or less. I do my best to send out all orders within 1 day! (This excludes custom orders.)



The not-so-good news:
  • The USPS has increased shipping rates for 2017. On average, costs went up around 4.1%. These increases will be automatically reflected at checkout as shipping charges for packages are calculated based on the size and weight of items you are buying, combined with your location.
That being said, prices are still pretty reasonable. A single pair of mittens will cost $2-$4 to ship, and almost everything will be less than $12.

As always, if you order several items and the actual shipping is significantly less than the calculated shipping, I am happy to refund the difference!
