So today I went online to Merrill to read about their shipping and here is their shipping chart

0.00 to 15.00 is 5.55
15.01 to 50.00 is 9.50
50.01 to 100.00 is 14.50
100.01 and up is 13% of order value

So I really got to thinking that our shipping only going up 25 cents isn't bad at all when we could of went to alot worse with the cost of gas and food prices going higher.

So on the other I placed the other day I paid 15.75 in shipping I thought it was high and to me it seems like their prices in general is going higher as well.

I know it toally blows my mind to see what other shipping costs are for other companys. I have a friend who sells stampin up and she said her shipping just went up and my home and garden friend said the same and they are shocked that we are still at a flat rate they are a % now
 
That's good to know! PC rocks! :)
 
I was at a TS show over the weekend and their shipping STARTS at $6.95 and goes up depending on the total of the sale. FedEx and PC are awesome to keep shipping down as much as they have.
 
I placed an order with tupperware to help out a friend (and past host) and my shipping was almost $8 on a $15 item. crazy

OMG :eek:
 
I think Merrill's shipping costs have always been high. I do love the fact that PC only had to increase a quarter! yahoo!!
 
Wow, I went to a tupperware party a few weeks ago and my shipping wasn't all that bad. Maybe it depends on where you live.

If I remember right, Tupperware has a s/h amount for shipping to the host and another for direct shipping (like we do). Maybe the high shipping amount was for direct shipping?
