I know some of you might not think the Dollar change in the price from $5.95 to $6.95 is much, but others may be disappointed so I wanted to take a moment and explain the change.
This dollar increase is in no way us trying to take advantage of sneaking another dollar out of you, what it has to do with, is the USPS Price to ship the case to you.
Yes, you see the case as 'Free Shipping' so you don't pay anything extra on top of the normal price of the case, I, however, do not have the 'Actual' ability to ship an item for Free or as cheaply as the Chinese do to ship overseas to you. In our country, the good ol'USA, the price of shipping anything starts at just over $2.00. That means, if your item weighs 1oz, the bare minimum weight, you have to pay just over $2.00 if you want to ship it with some kind of tracking attached to it.
Sure, I could send your case without tracking, stick it in an envelope with a few stamps, but then you'd never know where it was, and I have no reassurance that you received it, and therefore, no proof to eBay that I even sent it... So by 'eBay law' I have to send your item WITH tracking attached to it for it count in their world.
That being said, the price of shipping isn't a stand still price. Every year USPS raises the cost to ship out an item, you may have even noticed that the price your stamps is no longer the old $0.09, it's now over $0.50! That doesn't seem like a lot, but if you add up over time with constantly shipping items, it adds up quite quickly!
So, I had to raise the price. Yes, I tried to put it off as long as I could, but every year they chose to raise it... and now the price to ship it is making it impossible to even keep the business going at the same price. I had to make a choice, raise the price, or sell out the stock and shut down. I choose to stay and raise the cost by the $1.
I hope everyone can understand that this is a change I had to make, it was not something I did lightly and that being said, if the USPS begins to decline their price of shipping in the following years, I will do the same for all of you!
In the mean time I also wanted to let everyone know to expect Samsung Galaxy S6, and iPhone 6 cases very soon, I will be adding them to our store for purchase as soon as they arrive from the manufacture.
I thank you all for your patience and understanding!
Have a wonderful day!
