We wanted to let our international customers know that if they have tried to place an order with us in the past two days, they may have gotten an inflated shipping price. Our store was only offering Priority Mail International, and not (the more affordable) First Class Mail International.
If you have placed an order, you can possibly get it corrected by us (depends on if it qualifies for the lower shipping rate... it must be under 4 lbs). The lower shipping rate is more affordable, but will result in taking longer to get to you. We've found that most customers prefer the lower shipping rate to faster shipping.
If you want to place an order but are turned off by the shipping price, you can still place it and we can correct it... just send a follow-up email to orders@litkoaero.com and ask to "Please see if my order qualifies for a lower shipping rate". Please reference your order number.
Background:
Rather than a simple percentage-based international shipping rate, we charge the U.S.PS rate plus a handling fee.
We offer Priority Mail International (PCM) and First Class Mail International (FCM). The U.S. Postal Service recently decided (with the May 12th rate change) to alter the way that their shipping-price servers report the FCM rate to software such as ours.
So... we are left with offering PCM online, but not FCM for the time being.
We should have this fixed in a few days! Otherwise, please feel free to place your order and we can manually correct the shipping when we receive it.
