Transparent Pricing: Why we don’t do “free shipping”
Hey there, fabulous customers! At Pipes and Stripes, we’re all about honesty and clarity. Let's talk about this whole "free shipping" concept that’s everywhere. Spoiler alert: it's not as free as it sounds. Here’s why we do things a bit differently.
The Truth About "Free Shipping"
You know those “free shipping” offers that seem too good to be true? That’s because they usually are. The shipping costs are just sneakily hidden in the price of the products. We prefer to keep things straightforward with you because no one likes surprises at checkout (unless it's a surprise sale!).
What’s Up With Shipping Costs?
Shipping prices have been climbing for a few reasons:
Fuel Prices: As fuel prices go up and down, so do shipping costs.
Labor Costs: Paying fair wages means higher costs for the folks getting your goodies to you.
Global Snafus: Sometimes, world events make shipping slower and pricier.
Our Straightforward Approach
We think it’s better to be upfront with you. That’s why we separate shipping costs from product prices. You see exactly what you’re paying for: no tricks, no hidden fees.
Here’s what you get with our transparency:
Clear Pricing: You’ll know what you’re paying for each item and the shipping.
No Sneaky Fees: Our pricing is as clear as day.
Top-Notch Quality: We never compromise on quality. Ever.
Better Deals: Since we don’t bundle shipping costs into product prices, we can sometimes combine shipments and offer you a better deal. For example, if you order multiple items, we can pack them together and save on shipping, which means you won’t be paying twice for shipping as you might with “free shipping” deals.
