As far as being on the internet from different sites ~ some shipping is reasonable but I would much rather pay a little extra (just a little :) ) to help members on the board!! I have been known to let a member know if I think it would be cheaper to ship another way!
I will have to look into the larger parcel post boxes if I ever have a fabric sale again..Thanks Deb~what kind of boxes do you use? Does it have to be a certain size? I know I have used FedEx on at least one of my big shipments and saved quite a bit. Had to be careful though about dimensions of box.
Thanks to all for your input. :D
