Did Shipping and Handling Go up for Fall?

In summary, the cost of shipping and handling often increases during the fall season due to higher demand and increased shipping costs for retailers. The amount of increase varies, but is typically around 5-10% higher than other seasons. Some retailers may offer free or discounted shipping promotions during the fall, and bundling purchases can also help avoid higher fees. While the increase may have a slight impact on online shopping, it is usually temporary and will go back to normal after the fall season. Retailers adjust their fees based on demand and shipping costs, so it is possible for fees to change throughout the year.

I noticed that the outside order forms for september show shipping as $4.75
Did I miss this communication about the shipping prices going up?
Man.. I have tons of order forms that say $4.50.
 
Yes, It's $4.75 as of Sept 1st......don't worry about the forms you have, just write over it, thats what I did when it went from $4.25 to $4.50 :)
 
I apologize for any confusion. Yes, there was a recent communication about shipping prices increasing to $4.75 for outside orders. This change was due to rising shipping costs and we wanted to ensure that our customers were aware of the change. We understand if you have already filled out order forms with the previous price and will honor that price for those orders. However, moving forward, all outside orders will be charged at the new shipping rate of $4.75. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your continued support.
