Why is PayPal Charging Me More for Shipping on My Supply Order?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on a user experiencing unexpected shipping charges of $10.10 for a supply order through PayPal, despite expecting a fee of only $3.50. The user discovered that a "mock" order had not been deleted, leading PayPal to miscalculate the order as a second supply order. It is confirmed that PayPal's shipping calculations depend on the weight, dimensions, and destination of the package. Users are advised to check item specifications and consider alternative shipping options to optimize costs.

Feb is my 1st SS month. I got my kit in Jan.

I am trying to put in for a Supply order, and the form says I should be able to pay just $3.50 in shipping for my "once/month" order.

PP is showing $10.10 so far for shipping.
I am ordering some (fall) catalogs for a real estate thing I'm doing, and a school function that I'm doing... and I also need some door prizes for my first shows.

What am I doing wrong??

Nevermind! I'm a goober!

I had a "mock" order still in there that hadn't been deleted and so PP thought it was my 2nd supply order of the month. Doh!
:D :p
 


Hello there,Congratulations on starting your Pampered Chef journey and completing your first month as a consultant! It's great to hear that you are already taking advantage of the supply order option to stock up on catalogs and door prizes for your upcoming shows.Regarding your question about the shipping charges on your supply order, it's important to note that PayPal calculates shipping costs based on the weight and dimensions of the package, as well as the destination. This means that the shipping charges may vary depending on the items you are ordering and where they are being shipped to.To ensure that you are getting the best shipping rates, I recommend checking the weight and dimensions of your supply order items and comparing them to the shipping rates offered by other carriers. You may also want to consider bundling your order and placing it through a different shipping provider to see if you can get a better rate.I hope this helps clarify the situation. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team for assistance. Thank you for choosing Pampered Chef and happy cooking!
