If we can just go back to the "Good Old Days"....
Shipping Charges
We cannot control shipping cost one bit. It keeps on going up with no end in sight. We offer discount codes to help offset the cost and often if your order is large enough the code does cover the shipping price entirely.
For our international customers, you can also use the discount codes, but the cost is not something we have any margin to work with. You can try and find a proxy in the US to help offset. We have a few customers who do this.
Product Pricing
Product prices haven't changed much over the years, in fact, we've aligned pricing to be more consistent across the board with many items dropping in price...so that's good! You'll notice a lot of items that were on the upper limit of our price range are now lower.
