Topic: Shipping cost calculator

Noticed something very odd with the shipping cost calculator for Canadian shipments:

filastruder,  enclosure kit, and a filtered nozzle:      $90 shipping

Filastruder and nozzle:  $45
Enclosure:  $24
total for separate:   $69

^^so if I order the two separately, I save $21 in shipping?

I believe this is likely an issue with the cost calculator.

Re: Shipping cost calculator

It is indeed an issue, but it's hard to get around programmatically.

I ship a combination of by weight and flat rate (basically, by volume), but the calculator can only handle by weight - so I assign weights that are roughly proportional by volume. I actually lose an average of $1.22 per shipment, so I'm not doing it to make money!

I think you placed an order today. If you did, shoot me an email - filastruder@gmail, I can fit an enclosure, nozzle, and Filastruder in one ($45) box, meaning you'd get a $24 refund.

Feel free to email me in the future if issues are specific to your order, so I'm not discussing details of your individual order in public forum. smile
