Postal Rates and Information

Get the Most Value from Your Shipping Costs!: Right now for all zones it's the cheapest to go with Flat Rate Priority if you are ordering from 4 to 8 soaps (3 soaps cost the same but can be sent in a small Priority Mail box). The cost for that as of 18 Jan 2009 is $4.95 in postage.

In addition... for orders of 10 bars or more, a wonderful option is Flat Rate Box (better value if even more than 10... I can easily fit in over 20). That costs $10.35 for all zones.

What I typically use for shipping is Priority Mail whenever possible because it is a great value. For larger orders Flat Rate Box can be a great deal, since it costs $10.35 (actually $9.85 when I use Click 'n' Ship at USPS) for any zone in the U.S. and I can get quite a few bars in a Flat Rate Box (24 or possibly more). If it is preferable, orders can still be sent via Parcel Post or for really large ones I'll compare costs for UPS Ground.

Here are the most common TOTALS for soap shipped via PRIORITY MAIL, either in envelopes or boxes (including postage and packing) for common order sizes. (Washington State residents would also need to pay the sales tax for the town in which they live.) Postage cost for Priority Mail (one pound) or Flat Rate Priority envelope (4-8 bars) is $4.95 for ALL ZONES.
