How our shipping costs are calculated

While mail only shipments are flat rate, pricing for shipments containing packages is based off the total weight of individual items in your order. This cost is billed to you on a per-use basis as shipping fees are not built into the plans. Regular shipping price is calculated by marking up the postage by 10%-20% plus handling fees of $0.30 / mail and $3 / package.  Special handling fees differ.
