Message	1.) Remember to factor in the cost of packaging in addition to your straight shipping equation. 2.) As far as envelopes with cardboard with the USPS, why would you trust the USPS with your order? Each year we loose 10% or more of calendar orders which are shipped via USPS. These orders in turn have to be replaced and reshipped at our expense. It simply makes more sense to use a more more reliable carrier such as FedEx whenever possible. 3.) The shipping charges are transparent in your checkout, if you were not satisfied, why not cancel the transaction?
