ya know... people just don't get that shipping and handling includes the 'handling', not just the shipping! Sigh. It was hard to get through to some customers that while, yes, I can ship one ornament for less than $3, I also have to buy the boxes that the ornies come in, the shipping material, the bubble wrap, the tape, the labels, the cardboard shipping box that has to be USPS standard, gas to and from the post office, fees for selling online, etc. While some of my price does absorb a bit of that, most of the actual ornie price doesn't. But I'm like you... I'd rather see a customer like that go elsewhere, than deal with the angst. :P It's just not worth it for a hobby.
