Due to recent changes by UPS, shipping rates to certain zip codes have significantly increased. As a result, we have had to implement a small surcharge for affected areas to cover these additional costs. Our margins are very thin, and without this surcharge, we would incur a loss on each shipment. The only other option would be to quit offering our products in your area but we want to give the customer the choice. We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we navigate these challenges to keep serving you effectively.
