Sorry, but we had to raise shipping again. We tried to absorb this year’s UPS increase but we are loosing too much.

The change? We moved the threshold for $9 shipping down from $150 to $100.

UPS insurance is free below $100. After the first $100 declared value UPS charge $0.65 per $100 with a $1.95 minimum. So, say, a typical saddle that might have a shipping rate of $7.85 jumps to $9.80 with insurance.

Now our continental U.S. UPS flat shipping rate schedule is
Value to $19.99 = $5 shipping
Value to $99.99 = $8 shipping
Value $100 and up = $9.00 shipping

AK/HI and International are sent by mail and are quoted on an individual basis. Orders to continental U.S post office boxes are charged at the UPS rate or actual cost, whichever is higher.

We don’t make these shipping changes lightly. We understand that consumers are senstive to add-on costs. We don’t make any money on shipping but we don’t want to loose too much, either.
