Alaska Shipping Help: Actual Shipping Costs for Orders and PayPal

[lemmiskitchen]

I'm not exactly sure where to put this.

I have one recruit, a friend of mine who lives in AK.

She had her first show last night. (She hit 500! WOO HOO)

Anyhow, on the order forms, for Alaska, the guests need to pay the actual shipping cost, not the 4.00. However on the order form, it doesn't go above $14.00 for shipping.

When she went to enter in PP, some of the shipping charges were more. Up to a couple dollars. She doesn't mind and is eating the cost for this, for this show.

However, she has another show this weekend. Is there a list of the actual shipping prices in Alaska somewhere?

She's in Anchorage if that makes a difference.

Thanks!

Jamie,
being at an apo it's the same for us with the direct shipping.. you have to hit special shipping on the order screen in pp and it will pull up the address section then there's a box that you x called special shipping and it will max out at 14.. makes a big diffrence it went from 58$ to the 14 with one of my orders hth~tiffanyp

WAIT!!!!

In Alaska the shipping to the host's house is 15% of the order total-

Ex. If the order is 30.25 then the shipping is $30.25 x 15% = $4.54 shipping

If the order is over $100, then it is cheaper to direct ship than pay the 15%, so any order over $100 I direct ship to the customer. All direct shipping rates in AK are the same as in the lower 48. You can e-mail me or have your recruit call me if you have any questions!
