'Best Deal Shipping'

This page is closely related to our - 'Actual Cost', 'Same Day' Shipping - page. That page is lengthy, but provides a comprehensive overview of our customer service standards and policies.

This page is short and sweet. We ship all packages USPS. Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation at our actual cost. No 'handling charges' or fees - ever. This service is very fast and a good value. Many of our competitors will charge you for top tier shipping; tack on handling fees; and then ship with a lesser, cheaper, and slower service - pocketing a tidy, not-so-little profit on the side. InLace Book .com does not cheat customers on shipping charges.

Minimum US Postal Service Priority Mail shipping charge for a box is currently $5.00. The Medium Flat Rate Box rate is now $10.50. This, however, is also where we crush our competitors on another front. A Medium Flat Rate Box is 11" x 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", and will hold a substantial amount of InLace Products. The weight is a non-issue because of the Flat Rate price. The shipping cost does not change - whether the order is $50.00 or $250.00 - if the Medium Flat Rate Box is needed - our customers pay $10.50 actual cost - period. Priority Mail shipping averages 2 - 3 business days for delivery, including Saturday. On larger, heavier orders, traveling a good distance, our customers can make out like bandits because of our 'actual cost' shipping policy.

The Large Flat Rate Box is rarely needed, the Medium Box capable of holding so much merchandise. However, if needed, the Large Flat Rate Box is now $14.20. At 12" x 12" x 5 1/2" this box will hold a very large amount of merchandise. A bargain, but rarely is this box needed.

On rare occasions we will get 'stuck' between box choice and price. In these cases we will select the box that best balances cost and a safely shipped order.

We ship from North Carolina. Of course, shipping of packages that are not heavy and/or not going very far will cost something between the minimum Priority Mail charge of $5.00 and the switch to the Medium Flat Rate Box price.

The Medium Flat Rate box will hold four large Kit 'retail packaged boxes' perfectly. However, with a larger order we repackage the large Kits by packing the 'Kit Contents' into individual bags and increasing the capacity of the box up to six or seven large kits.

The US Postal Service has recently added to Regional Rate 'A' box. These boxes have varying flat rate prices, depending upon source and destination. For us, in North Carolina, the absolute most that an Regional Rate 'A' box can cost is $9.37 if going all the way to the West Coast. These boxes are just another opportunity for competitors to cheat customers out of even more 'processing and handling fees'. If you are shopping around, watch out for fees. Note: We do not include the cost of shipping in our shopping cart because the exact cost is calculated to order and added to the final cost. We do not build in fat fees or any fees. Shipping and handling profits are dishonest. A 'minimum charge' plus 10% of the total order cost is a common formula used in fully automated shopping carts. That can cost you an extra $20 - $30 in a hurry. If you but merchandise in a store, do they charge you to put it in a bag?
