The cost for shipping a small package is more than the cost of a single sample, so we cannot ship single samples for free. The minimum purchase amount is $6.00 to cover the cost of postage.
NO MORE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
I’m really sorry to have to write this, but international shipping seems to be in chaos right now. Several shipments have had the address changed by the postal service while en route, some appear not to have been scanned properly for tracking, and I just learned recently that a package addressed to Canada ended up in Puerto Rico! That address wasn’t changed – Canada was clearly still on the tracking info. The problem is not just with the USPS, which is typically reliable. Some things that have been shipped to me or to others via UPS never were delivered. Some customers have been charged excessive taxes and/or duties and refused the package, so it was sent back to us.
I blame it on excessive automation and AI systems with no human oversight. Maybe some of these glitches can be corrected, but until then, there will be no international shipping to individual customers. I know this is frustrating for everyone, but that’s the way the world is this year. We do not ship to international addresses with the state listed as “WA”, so there is no point in trying.
