Anyone Else Realize That the $5.25 Flat Rate Shipping Is Gone?

Anyone else but me realize that the $5.25 flat rate shipping (at shows) is gone after February?

I wasn't able to attend a reveal, but I did hear that something was changing.So does that mean it goes "direct shipping" rates?? Hope not!

I just asked this in one of the FB groups and someone said that the flat rate is staying the same. Someone said direct shipping prices are lowering in some ways. Here's what someone else said, "But it seems like there will also be a difference between Online Orders (placed direct though the website either through your website individually-not part of a show-or via find a consultant) and an Individual Order (an individual order placed through a consultant-we put the order in). So they can save a few bucks if a guest contacts a consultant if they have an individual order that is not connected to a show."

Ugh, how do I upload these as pictures instead of files? Or are they viewable okay as files?

I saw them as pictures just fine. Thanks for sharing! So essentially, show shipping went up to $7.25 (for under $100 order) or did the TO HOST shipping stay the same and just if they want shipped direct, they pay $2 more, and adjusts from there.?? Interesting. Personally, I think the MORE you spend, should be FREE shipping! Encourage more spending!
(Edited: because I found additional info that worded it differently to make more sense to my pea brain. haha)

Shipping is still $5.25 when placed on a show and shipped to the host. The direct pricing only applies for orders placed at a show where the guest wants it shipped to their address.

I'm thrilled with the direct shipping price change. My FIL in Chicago likes to place an order now and then, but I always have to direct ship it to him since I live in TX. I feel bad charging him $10-15 shipping so I always charge just the $5.25 and pay the difference myself. I feel I will have no problems charging the $7.95 to him. I also think more people attending shows will pay the extra couple dollars to have their order shipped directly to them rather than to the host so they don't have to find a way to meet up with their host to get their products.Shari in TX

I think this is wonderful! How often do you hear about prices going down?

So does this go into effect March 1?

From what I understand, show shipping rates (to host) remain the same. But a customer can have her/his order shipped directly for only $2 up to $99, instead of the original rate that increased every $20 or so dollars. I also understood that this direct shipping change is across the board - for individual orders placed through our website, or online through a show for out of town guests. So overall, it's a good change. Doing the math for me will be my greatest challenge when the orders get up in totals.
