SHIPPING MATERIALS used for packaging pottery needs to be strong. Sometimes, using a large amount of packing material and a larger box is necessary to get your piece to you safely. I consider economic, environmental and safety when choosing my materials and try to find a balance.

Currently, I reuse ALL packing material that comes to my house (air pockets, bubble wrap, paper, newspaper, etc), and I encourage you to do the same. The bubble wrap I purchase is 40% recycled content.

PRICING the shipping is flawed to say the least. Each item is weighed and assigned a shipping box, so when more than one item is ordered, the system does NOT know how to pack the pieces together. Often, the cost of shipping each piece gets added together.

98% of the time, you will receive a partial refund on your shipping costs. So, if the shipping cost is scaring you away, please contact me first.

Until I can find a better system (any ideas?) this is what works best.
