Rachel Joy Phillips replied to the discussion 'Shipping help!'"Yes, makes sense! I feel better knowing that I'm not crazy and there just isn't an easy way to calculate shipping. I'll just have to figure out the most fair way to do it. In the meantime, I'll continue to…"

Rachel Joy Phillips replied to the discussion 'Shipping help!'"Thanks Katherine! Sounds like you've really got it down! I like how you figured out how it evens out. I never could ask the customer for more shipping, but I don't want to absorb too much either - preferably none, but I…"
