Well, it’s been one week since I relaunched my online Etsy Shop. After a few issues and challenges (expected), I think the dust has settled for the most part. Now for a few changes based on learning experiences. 

First, thanks to all who visited, purchased stuff and gave me feedback and suggestions. And to the folks who purchased cards but not via through Etsy, thank you as well. Always being one who listens to feedback, I’ve instituted a few changes - all good and basically benefiting you the customers. The main change has to do with the card pacs. Specifically, the number of cards contained in the pac has gone from 8 to 5. The most requested and common denominator change had to do with requests for individual cards and smaller number of cards within each pac. The free shipping (as I stated from the beginning) has gone away. BUT - when you add all the changes up, the price for a pac Of 5 cards plus shipping is now less than the original pricing. Bottom line on this portion of the updates and changes comes out to be as follows:

   5 pac of 4.25” X 5.5” themed note cards = $9.50 for matte finish / $9.99 for gloss finish. All cards include envelopes.

   Shipping is now currently set at $1.50 flat rate for each individual 5 pac of cards. I discovered that I don’t have to mail the card pacs in a hard, rigid envelope (that the USPS now considers that a parcel and not envelope = MUCH HIGHER rate than in the past). I’ve test shipped a few 5 pac of cards in a standard 6” X 9” Manila envelope and the all arrived just fine and in perfect condition. I also loaded the exterior of the mailer with bright red, obnoxious ‘do not bend’ stickers 😜. This will be the norm for everything I now send  

   A few individual card purchase option have been added with more on the way over the next week or so. There are currently two options available for individual card purchase under the ‘Americana / Patriotic’ category. Price for individual cards are currently set at $2.25 for matte finish and $2.50 for gloss finish. Shipping on these will be the same as above (up to and including 5 cards w/ envelopes... over 5 cards / envelopes will then price out individually).

Thats about it for now. But as I say, many more additions and maybe a few more changes / updates forthcoming. Stay tuned 😜. 

See y’all soon. Peace - Mike T.
