Please understand that we are trying to be as fair and reasonable as we can with our shipping and handling charges. Please also understand that the cost of shipping has gone up due to higher mail costs and the costs for fuel for our company to deliver each package to our community's Post Office. ***************************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************************** Please be aware that our shipping and handling fees reflect not only the cost of shipping your purchase to you.
