The USPS has made some change to their automatic postage calculator that has thrown our shopping cart software a curve. So orders that would ship by mail are seeing outrageous shipping charges. We're working on the problem, and if you would like to order before we get it fixed, please just email Eileen at queen at bottlehead dot com, or call us at 206-451-4275. We will be happy to take your order and quote the correct shipping amount.

fedex ground is pretty reasonable and slightly cheaper than ups.  Plus I think they take better care of their packages too.

We only use USPS for very small packages and for shipping outside the US. The out of US shipments are the ones that are affected. We have been using UPS for domestic shipments for about 17 years. Those prices are coming up correctly on the shopping cart.
