Why "FREE SHIPPING" Can Cost You More

At Realms of Whimsy, we normally like mystical beasts, but FREE SHIPPING is one we need to slay.

When a company says FREE SHIPPING, what they usually mean is 'we added the shipping into your cost so you don't see it and think you're not getting charged even though you're paying".

At Realms of Whimsy, we aim to keep our pricing fair and transparent. Rather than building shipping costs into each item’s price, we charge shipping separately based on your order.

Shipping carriers charge us for their services, and the cost to send one item is often higher than the total cost to send multiple items together. Including shipping in each item’s price would mean higher costs for you—especially if you're buying more than one item.

With FREE SHIPPING, you basically have to pay the higher, single item shipping cost on every item you order.

By keeping shipping separate, we can pass on the savings when you order multiple pieces. Plus, we offer free shipping on larger orders as a Thank-You for your support.
