These are my bookmarked places on the web for my chin. All the stores have a great selection of items. If you’re buying wood furniture you will have higher shipping charges because of the weight. It’s pretty common to see shipping prices run $7.75, $10, $13.65, $15, and $20. Some shops do charge extra and then refund the difference once your item is packed. This is done for two reasons usually and is almost always listed in their shipping terms: 1. So they can make sure to cover the actual cost and they don’t have to send you a second invoice and 2. So you can get as much into your box as possible for the least amount of money. Another thing to consider with Etsy is every item has a shipping charge so if you are buying multiple items from the same shop most have a disclaimer on their home page that says to message them so they can do a combine shipping listing for you or alternatively they will refund the overage after purchase. Honestly shipping seems expensive but if you add the cost of similar items from a “pet store” with their $4-5 or free shipping and then compare it to similar items from small business stores like these, even after shipping, 8/10 times their prices are still less, occasionally the exact same, and maybe 20% of the time slightly higher but not by much. Plus they are higher quality, specific to Chins, and you know they are 100% safe. Those 2/10 times the extra $2-5 is worth it to me for sure. Just a thought. Plus you are also supporting small business owners who keep this little chin community thriving for the furry little friends we all love so much.
