I have been so frustrated, so J & I decided to just make the giant leap and go with FEDEX this next year. We have been toying with the idea for a long time, but not sure if customers would want to pay almost $3 extra for shipping. But that $3 brings a lot of security for both parties. So if that is what it takes, then so be it. Amina, yes the $15.50 covers that area of the world, and I can ship up to 12 bars for that rate. S your sis would definitely save some money going that route, and it will be fully insured. Anyways, how is everyone doing? How was your holiday season? I hope all is well, thanks for stopping by and for all the support over the years :) Thanks ladies.

They get a giant FAIL this season! We had a huge snowstorm here a week ago, and it's like they just gave up. I drove 2 miles in a blizzard to make sure I got my orders shipped off, and they couldn't drive 2 blocks to deliver our mail! Not that my efforts paid off-I had several packages that I shipped on 12/19 not get delivered til 12/26-and that was Priority Mail!!! I feel your pain on the USPS thing.

I admire your hard work and sorry the end of the year was so stressful. Is $15.50 a flat fee rate for overseas? I might have to ask little sister who is in Tunisia to order directly from you instead of me paying $40 to ship stuff to her happy new year!! aaaw..I am so sorry USPS was the reason you had so many disgruntled customers.
