...so, we gotta do it to. Our previous shipping charges were $4.50 for the first t-shirt and $1.50 for each additional t-shirt. Now, it’s $4.95 for the first t-shirt and $1.50 for each additional t-shirt (US shipping only).
Please note, we haven’t raised our shipping charges - not once - since we went online four years ago (July, 2003). But, the Postal Services’ fees have increased twice since we started selling t-shirts on the Internet:

I receive letters all the time. And it’s fun to read and respond to them. The two letters I’ve listed here I received back-to-back, and it pretty much represents the variety of things I receive from one extreme to the other. I just wanted to share them. Feel free to post your comments and thoughts.

I’ve been receiving letters from people who want information and advice about how to sell T-shirts for sometime now.

After reading the article, I immediately went into self defense mode and contacted the Black America Web editorial dept., an Atlanta radio station that responded to and discussed the story on one of their talk shows, and I left several *heated* comments on the message board where the article was published. (Needless to say, I was pissed off.)
