🤗 A Little Shipping Update
Over time, I’ve added a number of different shipping options to The Paperhound in an effort to make getting your books as convenient as possible. But with more courier options comes more juggling behind the scenes — and with rising fuel costs, some of these options have unfortunately become less practical and cost-effective to use.
So, I’ve made the decision to simplify the shipping options available. This means fewer options to choose from, but a smoother and more efficient process for getting your books on their way to you.
I really appreciate your understanding as I try to keep The Paperhound running as efficiently as possible while still keeping shipping practical and reasonably priced.
Thank you, as always, for supporting my little bookshop. ❤️
