Shipping Charges March 3, 2025 14:18
Here's how I do shipping - updated Spring 2025.
Tiny stuff like replacement screws and drive rings and most of the repair parts fit in a small box, and USPS shipping is free to US addresses with a $20 minimum order, $5 postage for under $20 in parts. To Canada and other international addresses, I charge $10 shipping with a $20 minimum order.
Up to seven bobbins fit in a USPS medium flat-rate box, which ships for $15 to US addresses, $25 to Canada, and $35 to other international addresses.
Spinning wheels ship to US addresses in a large box via UPS for $50. I ship to AK & HI & Canada using USPS, which typically costs $75-100. To other international addresses, I charge the actual shipping cost via our USPS and your postal service, which typically costs $100-150.
For returning spinning wheels that were shipped to us for service or repair, I will try to reuse your box and packing materials if I can and reduce the shipping charge to $40. Note: If you shipped in a thin or undersized box, like what the UPS Stores typically use, I will toss all of that and use my box & packing material instead so I know the wheel will arrive safe and undamaged.
I can ship via expedited methods on request, but best we both be sitting down when the estimate comes in.
Note that international shipments will include both a commercial invoice and required export/customs forms, all of which will reflect the contents are purchased merchandise as well as the actual retail price paid. The recipient will be responsible for any taxes, duty charges, and/or import fees. If you're unfamiliar with your country's duty and tariff rates for spinning wheels, contact me and we'll sort it out together.
