Shipping charges include the cost of shipping, handling and packaging. I do not make a profit from shipping or handling fees. Items are shipped USPS in an effort to keep shipping costs down. Larger orders will ship priority in most cases, as this is more economical. While I do ship all packages with a USPS First Class with Delivery Confirmation, I can not be held responsible for post office loss or damage. If you’d like your goodie to be insured, please choose the "ADD INSURANCE" option in the shipping upgrades section during checkout.

I would love to promise that the post office is perfect, but it's not. I have had one package lost to the universe and a handful that were extremely delayed in the postal routing system. I cannot be held responsible for packages once they leave my studio and are put into the postal system. If you want to purchase insurance on your item, please choose the "ADD INSURANCE" option in the shipping upgrades section during checkout.
