New First Class International shipping option
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
First Class Mail has just been added as an option for small packages, shipping worldwide! We're constantly working to bring down shipping costs. And now, our little padded envelopes are going where no little padded envelopes (of ours) have gone before: all over the world! Because it offers tracking, we still recommend USPS Express Mail for most international orders, but First Class International has been a very popular request, and represents a big savings for smaller, less-urgent orders going overseas. We now offer a choice of shipping by USPS Express Mail, USPS Priority Mail, and First Class Mail, and still charge just actual USPS postage rate for shipment, domestic or international, with no added handling fees. (For orders shipping to US addresses, we also still offer free shipping when your order total is $75 or more.) You can read more about shipping options and other ordering details on our order information page here.New store section: Hardware
