Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are based on the vendor's stipulations. Shipping costs for all orders will be applied at checkout. Shopify uses a system based on the total amount spent for shipping. If you feel the amount is extremely inflated, it might be a mistake. Please contact me about the shipping costs if you are concerned. 

If you are local, and the item you are ordering can be delivered easily, contact me for a shipping discount code to use at checkout! (For example, anyone in Omaha ordering bees!)
