that surprises me.
I buy ALOT online... I'm also a stamper/scrapbooker and there is alot of supplies I buy online. I find that soaper's suppliers are the only ones where I don't know what the shipping is upfront.
The amount I paid, was reasonable, so if I wanted to buy something else in future, I would do what you suggested, to make a note - i was thinking of doing that but I thought i'd just let it run its course.
it is what it is. I dont' think I would have completed the purchase without knowing the shipping charges, had I not read feedback from others on thier experiences.
I try to shop local whenever I can, and I'll continue to do that, especially when i don't know the shipping charges upfront.
Oh, and FYI, the shipping was just over $16. A bit much in my opinion, but not TOO bad. I would have been much more comfortable if the shipping label actually had the postage cost on the label, but it didn't.
