Tired of hearing about shipping costs? I bet.

Post by CJJones »

Hey, guys. I am a small business owner looking to try one of your products out. It is the led sequins that look really great for my purposes. The problem? To even try out the product I have to pay shipping that costs over twice that of the actual product. I am in Northern Ohio, which can't possibly be some kind of strange shipping black hole. It is frustrating that the USPS option is not available here. I can literally order the product from a British reseller with a shipping cost 1/2 of that from ordering directly from you. I may do so, but I'd rather not wait a month for shipping. I don't suppose that there is anything that you can do about that?

It was the sequins that I was looking for, but thanks for the quick reply.

I've got the same problem. I want to order two of the 16x8 matrix controllers but UPS ground costs almost as much as the product. I ship USPS all the time, it's 1/4 of what UPS charges and I've never had an issue.
