Pro Shipping Tips
Consolidate Packages
Combine multiple items into one shipment. This can reduce shipping costs by 40-60% compared to shipping separately.
Always Add Insurance
For orders over $100, insurance is essential. It covers loss, damage, and even customs seizures at only 2-5% of order value.
Avoid Peak Seasons
November-January sees massive delays. Order before mid-October for holiday arrivals. March-April is the sweet spot.
