It’s common practice for shipping carriers to increase their prices during the holiday season. We’re adapting to the price increase by applying a holiday season shipping surcharge to all orders to the US.
From Oct 21 to Jan 19, a $0.40 surcharge will be added to all orders with a US destination address.
If you have US-based customers, we suggest adding the surcharge to the shipping or product prices you charge.
What’s a shipping surcharge and does it affect me?
It’s common for US-based shipping carriers to temporarily increase their service prices to better manage the holiday season workload. This price increase is called a shipping surcharge.
As all major US shipping carriers have increased holiday delivery prices this year, we’ve added a temporary surcharge to our shipping fees.
From Oct 21 to Jan 19, a $0.40 surcharge will be added to all orders with the destination address in the US.
The surcharge will be added per order, so if your order includes multiple products from categories with different surcharge rates, we’ll apply a single surcharge.
Sales tax will be applied to the surcharge if an order is shipped within the US to a destination state with taxable shipping. The tax will be added as a separate charge and calculated from the sum of the product price, shipping cost with the surcharge, and any additional services.
Note: Shipping discounts and coupons won’t apply to order surcharges, except for sample orders that qualify for free shipping.
