Why I’m drop shipping most of my products

  • by

I’ve been making a ton of updates to the shop and you may have noticed there are a lot of external links now! Which might seem odd, but let me explain.

There is one main reason for this: Canadian shipping rates.

If you are in Canada you likely already know about this, but it costs more than any of the items in my shop just to ship something to someone even just down the street from me. It is absolutely ridiculous and I cannot afford to keep prices reasonable and expect anyone who wants something from me to be not shocked at discovering a $25 charge to ship. It’s not fair to you.

Given that I just design most products, I do have third parties that can ship items at a much better rate! Art of Where, most book retailers, even Redbubble can all offer much better shipping rates than I can hope to get access to.

That’s not to say everything is going to be done by a third party! Obviously, signed paperbacks will still be coming from me, and anything that is not created and made to order. The jewelry, the charms, the zines, all still coming directly from me.

Just know that these updates are very intentional and being done for the purpose of making sure you’re not paying double what you expect just so that it gets shipped to you.
