I ship all packages using exact package weight and dimensions, and destination.
Shipping ceramics properly is critical to prevent breakage during transit.
The real costs of shipping & materials:
Shipping carrier fee: anywhere from $12 - 25 depending on the size, weight and distance to travel of each box.
Double-walled box: between $2.00 and $3.00 each, depending on size
Dissolvable starch packing peanuts: ~$1.50 per box to fill properly
Paper wrapping for items & packing inside: ~$.50 per shipment
My time and labor to pack and ship
