bugtussle Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 We knew this was coming, NO MORE surplus on FLAT RATE shipping. This is OK, I can understand. At least they're headed in the right direction by keeping the flat rate on other orders under $25. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystical_angel1219 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I can understand this to a point. :rolleyes2 I am thinking she will pull it eventually or continue to raise her prices. She has been raising prices on her stuff ever since she put that flat rate shipping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol M Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The thing is, she didn't knock those surplus prices back down, even though the flat rate shipping was eliminated on surplus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMommy Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Maybe I am missing something here. If I purchase items, no matter what they are and they can fit into a flat rate shipping box how is that costing WSP money? I have never liked their shipping charges which I felt were over inflated. I am one of those people that normally have small orders. If I just need a few packs of wicks or dyes or even a few test size FO's I look for the suppliers that offer US Postal shipping. Those are the suppliers I usually continue to give my business to. Not that WSP cares about my small potatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravo5 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 They aren't using flat rate boxes. My order came in a big box and I know it cost more than their shipping fee.I did think it was too good to last, though- but their shipping rates to me aren't too bad compared to other places. When I've calculated product price plus shipping from multiple places, they're still often cheaper. I just do a lot of comparison shopping.

Bunny Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Yup.. I had an order come in today. $24.75 in items, and 3 nice fat boxes! Got it while the getting was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMommy Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Oh, well that makes sense if the order needs to be in a very large box. I still think for small orders like what I mentioned above US Priority would be a good idea. I use Bittercreek and other suppliers because they offer this method of shipping.I've ordered items from WSP and was charged 12.00 plus for shipping and got the exact same merchandise from BC and paid US priority of 4.00.

wildangel112 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I've ordered items from WSP and was charged 12.00 plus for shipping and got the exact same merchandise from BC and paid US priority of 4.00. I can sympathize as I was charged $12+ shippping for some tabs for my lotion bottles. Something that would have easily fit into an envelope. When I called her about it, she was very rude. No way her crooked b*tt will see my business again. I got the same item from The Candlemakers Store, with our business name added to them, $1.10 postage on an envelope and all total, way cheaper than WSP.

Wendy Shoofitz Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I just emailed her on the price increases on oils, like someone mentioned, the castor oil went from $1.95 to $3.50 for one pound. She tells me they lowered the prices on some gallons. The email was so rude I can't imagine a supplier acting like that. Adious Ms Debbie.
