Most items now have a simple and cost effective $8.00 flat rate for shipping. The trouble with this is that it is past slow as it is regular post. To use any courier, they charge a brokerage fee, often worth way more than any given product/book. But, you'll see that we can use a 'priority' post, too, which gets items to you MUCH more quickly, and relatively cost effectively. This is what the 'shipping option' buttons are all about, below. You will be given that option when you are actually purchasing an item, and is at your discretion! Notice also, that there is a slight discrepancy between printed matter and actual 'items', this is because, while the post office did away with the printed matter only rate ( which was less expensive) we still have that as an option, but it gives you much quicker status, over that of what are regarded as 'hard goods' which are not written books/material, as per se...., but it costs the extra amount, over the flat rate. If you need further clarification about ANY of the products, don't hesitate to contact me - that's what I'm here for! You will be dialoguing DIRECTLY with me as the author of the books or manufacturer of most of the unique products at this site. I DO NOT have the same 'bottom line' as a store, as per se., and I'm primarily an outdoor writer and 'expert in my field', and ALWAYS give FAR MORE value than just an ordered product. I DO NOT CONDUCT MYSELF in the usual manner of a store or usual business, and why you get such great service - and respect! Try me! John A.
