We have some good news this afternoon for those of you who live outside the United States. We have just lowered our shipping and handling costs on international orders. These rates will be effective on all orders shipped starting May 2, 2013.<\/p>\n
I’ll spare you the details, but the new shipping method we are using will still have packages delivered by your local post office in roughly the same amount of time as they have previously\u00a0taken to arrive. But they will cost less to get there.<\/p>\n
The US Postal Service rate increases last January were disproportionately high on packages shipped outside the country. So we’re glad that we’ve been able to find an alternative delivery method that provides the same level of service at a reduced cost. And we’re happy to pass that savings along to you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
