Postal Pains

Illustration from a 1936 First Grade reader

Despite my best efforts to keep shipping rates reasonable, with only slight increases since I opened Sushipot back in 2006, the recent USPS rate hikes are causing me to adjust rates accordingly. I spent the weekend going through the tedium of creating new shipping formulas. Wrapping my head around the ridiculous rate hikes to Canada and all other international destinations is causing me severe postal pains. For instance, the cost of shipping a small package which weighs under 5 oz has basically doubled in cost. This means some items in the vintage shop suddenly cost as much or more to ship internationally than the cost of the item itself. Makes me feel a bit ridiculous but I do want to be up front with all of you loyal patrons about these changes. Luckily many of my domestic shipping rates remain the same. Please bear with me as I'll continue to tweak the shipping rates as I find discrepancies over the coming weeks. And please know that I will refund any crazy overages in your favor!

And on a related note...an interesting op-ed published in the New York Times last Friday.

Free Shipping!

Look what I found! Everything at Sushipot is now shipping for FREE until the New Year. Yes folks...whether you live in Atlanta or Australia your art objects will be shipped to you for free starting today. Just 'cuz I love you ;)

If you want to play around with this card catalog generator you can find it right here. 

P.S. Please note this offer applies only at Sushipot due to the fact that more often than not vintage crap weighs a ton.

A really BIG thank you to each and every Sushipot patron who shopped the art block sale this weekend! We had a really BIG pile 'o packages to take to the post office this morning.
