Imperial Masterpiece
I had planned on keeping these 3 bowl shaped pots, but have decided to list them. I have plenty of time later this winter to build my inventory. As you who have looked know, I have always included shipping in my price. Well after some absolutely horrendous postal charges I am going to have to change things a bit. I am not complaining, it is just the way things are. It is almost as though the shippers have waged war with the public.
Example, I sent two packages to Missouri recently. They were the same size, 18 x 18 x 9 inches. Two different addresses but same state. First one shipped for about $44 on a Tuesday. Friday of the same week the Post Office wanted $70 to ship the other and could offer no explanation other than "that's what it comes to". So I to it to FEDEX and it was $44. So then I am happy thinking I found a cheaper shipper. The next week I take a smaller box, about 12 x 16 x 12 to FEDEX that was shipping to Washington. It was $70 to ship a pot that sold for $95 with shipping included.
Henceforth I will just list a pot with a price for the pot alone. Interested parties will have to ask about shipping. I Really hate to do this .... I like things simple. But obviously based upon recent experiences, I have no choice.
I would like to add how very grateful I am to every one of you that has purchased a pot from me or responded in a positive manner.
