Sometimes I receive gentle ribbing for my frugal ways, but never from one of my eBay customers. I was virtually born frugal, and now you can benefit from it. I diligently search out free boxes and packing material, and have negotiated a discount with FedEx to save you even more. All I need to buy is the packing tape and ink to print out the labels, and I pass the savings on to you.

I strive to offer reasonable shipping rates. The handling fee for buyers in the US added is almost always less than $1, but usually between $.25 and $.75. For international buyers, whose packages I need to bring to the post office, the handling fee is no more than $2, usually less. After Paypal takes its 2.5% cut--even out of the shipping costs you pay to me--I'm not profiting on shipping.

In addition to my regular low shipping rates, when you buy more than one item from Laura's Last Ditch, I show my extra appreciation by passing along the money I save on shipping, meaning you can benefit greatly from the generous combined shipping discount for multiple purchases. Plus, my biggest customers receive my best shipping discount: FREE shipping within the United States on your entire order when you buy multiple eligible items totaling $200 or more from Laura's Last Ditch(almost everything is eligible).

Sometimes, despite my best efforts, the shipping cost might still seem high if you live far away or in a different country, especially if the item is big or heavy. I try to be fair, and as you peruse the selection in my store, I trust you will find it so. Happy browsing!
