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.
