Adjusting Shipping Costs for Moving Business to Boston?

In summary, Beth is considering offering free shipping to guests for orders of $100 or more. Guests who order through her will also get $4 off their order.

I've just moved my business from Florida to Boston where Kitchen stores are closeby to almost everyone. I have a lot of people who have placed orders and said they would order again, but they are having a hard time with the $4 shipping fee when they attend shows, or more if they place an individual order. I understand the shipping fees on Individual orders, but does anyone know if PC has ever considered adjusting the cost of the product line so the shipping fee is embedded in the item costs?

I'm considering offering free shipping for orders of a certain amount - does anyone do this and at what price point?

Thanks!
 
Let your guest know at the parties that if they book and host a show, within two weeks of the current show. That you will pay for their shipping but they must hold the show, meaning they have to payfor the shipping now and you reimburse them the four dollars they paid at the show they host.

I am offering free shipping (to the host) with orders of $100 or more for the rest of 2006. Haven't done that before and I might keep it up if it makes a difference.

My commission will be at least $25 for that order so I think it will be well worth it if it raises my show average...
 
Beth, doesn't the host already get free shipping?

Sorry that wasn't clear.

Yes she does. This offer is for guests. If they want it direct shipped to their own home I'll give them $4 off with their $100 or more order. I think I'll add $200 order gets free shipping to the guest's home....
