IMPORTANT SPIT AND A HALF SHIPPING SNAFU NOTICE
Hey all, since updating my shipping plug-in on the Spit and a Half site a few days ago, it appears that rates and options are messed up. For instance, Media Mail is not showing up as an option for US customers. It also appears that rates in general are higher than they should be. I’m working on fixing this! In the meantime, if you would like to place an order, rest assured that I will refund any extra unused postage costs that you pay for. In the notes section of your order, please specify which of the following options you would prefer, despite whatever option is shown to you and you select.
Alternately, email me directly at johnp_kingcat AT hotmail DOT com with your order, shipping address, PayPal email address, and preferred shipping method, and I’ll process your order the old-fashioned way and send you a PayPal invoice for payment.
The following shipping options are available in the USA: Media Mail (cheapest but slower) First Class Package (faster) Priority Mail (fastest)
International shipments are sent via: First Class Package Service™ International Parcel
I'm so sorry about this issue, and I'll get it straightened out as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, thank you for your patience and understanding.
John P.
