Shipping updates

February 27, 2025 Leave a comment

The shipping cost within the US and from US to the rest of the world has been rising every year, sometimes twice a year. Now most of my shipping costs were barely covering the postage, let alone the shipping envelops and transaction cost. It sounds like I have to bump up the shipping fees by 50 cents to a dollar in some cases to adjust to the new reality that I’ve ignored for the past two years. But there’s good news. I’ve been monitoring the shipping costs and was able to add Spain, Greece, and Israel to the slightly less costly international shipping destinations, based on the shipping fees I’ve been paying last year. There’s different zones based on USPS but to map out all zones on my primitive SQUARE platform is a lot of work to start and later adjust.

How to break apart a panel of adapters

Since many of my customers buy multiple adapters per order and shipping cost is only going up, I have decided to ship adapters in panels of 6 for order quantities equal or greater than 6 to save on packaging and waste and hopefully save a small amount of shipping cost.

So when you receive a panel (or a partial panel) of adapters, how you go about breaking it into individual adapters? It’s easy. You first break the panel into three columns, then break out individual adapter. Finally you can remove the edge rails. Here is a video:
