Shipping

I know, we all hate to pay for postage. The shipping rates to you - are what I pay - simple.

HOW TO SAVE:
The cost to ship 1 shirt is the same to ship 2, 3 or more, so don't be worried about increasing shipping costs.

With bulky/awkward sizes, shipping a hat or hoodie is a bit more, but add a shirt or 2 in the same package and it is still the same shipping cost.
