Hi Laura, welcome to SM
Yes your bows are beautiful no doubt about that! Digby is a lucky little girl to have some of your bows. They are one of a kind and unique.
It is shipping costs that I had problems with in my post. I guess someone here did not like the fact I said your shipping was too high.
I have had items sent to me from Victoria, jewelry which was heavier than dog bows and it only cost me $3.00 Canadian!!! So I do not see how you can charge US $6.00 for ONE bow! Perhaps in smaller padded envelopes and smaller boxes might lower your cost. Hmm if people are paying you in the US funds, then when you receive their payments and converted to Canadian dollars you are getting more, if I figured that out correctly.
Sorry I am a cheapie when it comes to shipping charges, that is just me.
Anyways welcome to SM, Digby says thanks for the hugs, and our weather is more like Vancouver weather right now - okay who sent that rain here LOL

Hi Marilyn,
You mention you still do not see how I can charge US$7 for shipping within Canada...let me explain a few things to help you out.
First, the price I charge for shipping is based on the actual shipping cost plus the GST, the gift box and the protective bubble envelope mailer which makes the TOTAL shipping cost MORE than the US$7 shipping rate I charge.
Unfortunately, for Canadian residents, shipping is more and always has been within Canada than it is from Canada to the USA.
It's unfair for you to compare my shipping costs with that of this other vendor who sold you jewellery and conclude I charge more than I should. Either they were paying for a portion of the shipping cost for you, like I do on my Canadian shipments, or the jewellery was sent as an envelope rate versus a package rate or they have a business account with Canada Post so their shipping rates are lower based on their annual Canada Post shipping expenditure -- or any combination of these.
I pride myself on giving my customers the best bows and service however, like the old saying goes "you can't please everyone all the time" and as I say "unfortunately" so.
I also don't charge my customers for handling and extra goodies included with every shipment.
I trust this resolves the misuderstanding you have with my shipping costs.
Best Barks,
Laura
