Shipping charges are based on the weight and/or size of your order as well as your zip code.  We try our best to package orders as cost effective as possible. Larger items such as barn stars are billed as oversized packages and can be very costly when ordering small amounts.  If you have ordered larger or heavier items and would like a shipping quote, please feel free to call or email us and we can let you know before the order is shipped. The shipping charges are calculated once your order has been packed, weighed and measured to ensure accuracy.  We also try to recycle packaging materials to keep your costs as low as possible.
