How come the shipping costs seem high?

Due to the nature of how fragile glass is, it becomes very important to pack correctly. We take special care to pack each order so that it arrives to you in good condition. All of our orders are custom-packed by hand. Individual glass pieces are separated by cork buttons, corrugated cardboard or Styrofoam and then surrounded by Styrofoam peanuts or recycled fill and packed inside either a stiff cardboard box or small plywood crate.
Shipping glass takes special considerations with a shipping company. These reasons are all contributors to the price. Overall, you will still find that the price of our glass and shipping are less than what you can get elsewhere.
