New, Cheaper shipping!

**RockyR** · 16th February 16, 06:40 AM

Hello All,

We have changed up our shipping prices. For our US Customers, we now have a flat $2.99 shipping for ANY order shipped in the USA, regardless of total. Expedited shipping is still extra and international shipping is still done at "reasonable rates".

This is our new pricing model going forward. We're trying to keep our shipping costs low to entice orders, even for orders with low totals and smaller items.

Noticed this when browsing yesterday. Hoping to take advantage of it in order to get my fiancee her first mini-kilt for her birthday!

Come on Rocky! I've been such a good boy! now I may have to buy stuff I "couldn't justify" because of shipping prices...

More kilt hose, save for another wool kilt, a jacket, bias waistcoat...

Your Amazon page still shows 8.99 USD shipping for stuff like socks.

Cheers, Mark

Yes it does. Amazon's shipping metrics are a bit weird AND they take a % of every sale, INCLUDING shipping. We have to leave shipping at "regular rates" to have an Amazon store make financial sense for us.

To get the $2.99 shipping rates, just order through our site! 😊

And remember, we offer a 10% discount on non sale items for all Military personel (with valid ID or DD214). This applies to sales through our website or in store only... not Amazon sales.

Oh my gosh! I could've saved like $150 so far with the military discount.

The military discount is valid within a week of placing an order and only applies to non sale items. If you've placed an order recently, let me know!

Amazon broadens market reach a bit - because of their tremendous name recognition and reputation.
I was just accepted to offer my regional art photographs through one of their programs. Their shipping is a bit weird and not flexible. I'll soon be ready to begin promoting my own Amazon store, which is sort of an experiment at this point, and will "see how it goes."

"Have fun" (he says with tongue in cheek) setting up all your products and skus. Also, research their "watermark policy" before putting your images up there. We've had several items copied (images, description down to the phrase "USA Kilts offers") by large firms in China pumping out product. Amazon is good at taking the copycats down, but YOU will have to police for them and make sure they don't steal your images.
