Shipping woes
Today I went looking for Blue Sky Alpacas' Baby Bobbi Bear pattern, because I'm not especially fond of the shop here that sells BSA stuff - I'd rather order online. So I found the pattern at Jimmy Beans Wool. I love that site. But I can't justify spending as much for shipping as I do for the pattern, especially when I know that the pattern is a single sheet of paper. So I guess Baby Bobbi will have to wait till I can spend a little more money at Jimmy Beans.
I also get a little grumpy at places that charge the earth for shipping to Alaska. It's not really that much more. I ordered a replica of Hermione's wand from the Noble collection, and they charged me $15.95 for shipping, half as much as I paid for the wand itself, and then when I got the box, the postage was $3.85. I was so mad, but what can you do about it at that point?
