No more free shipping

Is free shipping no longer offered on items under $20?

I just noticed this also, I support BRS decision to charge $1.99 to ship for under $20. Shipping charges can get very expensive and that is a really low price point to offer free shipping. I rarely order online for things under $20, only if it's for things that are unavailable locally for me, so this does not affect me much, but I do ship inexpensive items quite often and to ship for free would put me at a loss, thus I support the flat $1.99 under $20 shipping charges. At that rate they are probably only breaking even. Just my 2 cents

yeah i have no problem with it either. no biggie. still happy to support BRS for all they do.

No problems here either. I usually pay the 4.99 anyways to avoid the ups surepost shipping.

News to me. I usually pay for the upgraded shipping anyway. Only time I don't is when I forget, lol.

That's still a bargain considering you may get..........

Smart move. Not sure how they did it for so long.

We really appreciate the understanding and support guys. We've done our best to make this as low-impact as possible, but as others have alluded to, while free shipping on a $2 part is nice, it was never really a sustainable model for us. We're keeping the cost and threshold as low as we can, and I think the clear benefit here is that even for larger orders that may qualify for free economy shipping, you can now upgrade for even less. I think the $1.99 shipping is a no-brainer!

Good move. No minimum free shipping isn’t sustainable and it creates lots of packaging waste for tiny orders.

Lol I don’t think I’ve ever had an order under $20! But honestly $2 is nothing, I’m also shocked that you guys haven’t done this sooner! Keep up the good work guys!
