October 2026---Flat Rate Shipping Returns; later this year, costing the same, but applies to less

After years of slighting Christopher Columbus, we’ve decided to recognize him this year by starting our flat rate shipping offer on his day and ending it one week later on October 18th. The cost is the same as last year, still $15 per shipment, but this year we’re limiting it to orders of $200 or less that are: (a) placed through the webstore between Oct 12th and 18th, (b) shipped to a US address, and (c) delivered by the end of the year. The intent of our offer has always been to encourage the “little guy” to try or give our products, not to help someone ship three cases to the Hamptons (not sure that ever happened though we’d be delighted if it did--with normal shipping--but you get the idea).

As before, this flat rate only makes sense for orders heavier than a few 1lb bags of brittle because both UPS and USPS are now charging less than our flat rate for light shipments. When you choose your shipping option, be sure to compare the prices. And again, as before, orders placed after Oct 18th will return to our normal sipping policy where the charges are determined by weight and destination.

Finally, as before and always, keep munching, stay well, and carry on.
