Why can shipping feel expensive sometimes?

Because handmade and unusual physical items do not ship like generic mass-market accessories. We ship worldwide, but packaging, destination, tracking, weight, carrier rates, geopolitical situation, and production scale all affect the final cost. Shipping costs cover only the actual cost of the courier service, which has skyrocketed, especially for shipments to the United States, due to the geopolitical situation and tariffs. Shipping costs do not include taxes or customs duties, which are the recipient’s responsibility since we cannot calculate them in advance; these amounts must be paid on the courier’s tracking page. We do not make a profit on shipping costs. If you want to optimize shipping, it often makes sense to group items in one order. We can discuss different solutions directly.
