o A level has been added for orders totaling $130 and over. The base rate will be 11%.
o Customers in Alaska and Hawaii will need to add $5 to all base shipping rates.
o 2-Day Air charges have increased by $5, so the new charge for 2-Day Air will be $15. That charge will be in addition to the base rate, which varies based on order value.
o Next Day charges have increased by $1, so the new charge for Next Day will be $20. That charge will be in addition to the base rate, which varies based on order value.
From that verbiage, I was assuming that we would be having graduated shipping costs (e.g. $4.00 for orders between $XX - $XX, and so on), based on the order's retail total. Did anyone else read it that way??
It is possible that you may have missed the news about shipping increases. Shipping rates and fees can change frequently, so it is important to stay updated on industry news.
Yes, shipping rates have increased in recent years. This is due to a variety of factors, including rising fuel costs, labor costs, and changes in international trade policies.
Shipping rates are affected by several factors, including fuel costs, labor costs, and supply and demand. As these factors change, shipping rates may also change, resulting in an increase or decrease.
The shipping increases can impact consumers in several ways. They may see higher prices for products, longer delivery times, or additional fees for certain shipping services.
As a consumer, there are a few things you can do to mitigate the impact of shipping increases. You can shop around for the best shipping rates, combine orders to reduce overall shipping costs, and consider alternative shipping methods such as local pickup or delivery.
