Yes, I have to charge for the shipping as I'm just a teeny little fish in a VERY big pond & can't afford to eat those costs, but I make up for that by not marking up the item on the back end and lying to you about giving you 'free shipping'.  'Nuff said about THAT. :) 

If you are not completely satisfied with this product, please contact me for a resolution as I pride myself with excellent customer service and will work with you to make this transaction a satisfactory experience.

I'm just one person trying to keep the lights on and have some fun in the process.  Thanks for looking...I really DO love being a small town personal shopper, and am deeply grateful for your patronage!
