Dear Jammers,
I would like to announce that effective today, shipping rates for Registered Airmail is up by 10%. There is no change in Express shipping rates.
As we all know, fuel prices are escalating. As a result, shipping companies have increased their logistic rates. When the rates were increased somewhere around mid 2007, AsiaJam was reluctant to join in the price hikes. We thought, if we lost a little more, that's OK as long as our customers are happy with our low rates. However, it's been almost 1 year since the price hike and AsiaJam had a review on areas which were losing most money. It has been brought to our attention that if we do not increase our shipping rates, AsiaJam will be losing a significant amount of money. The large amount is something we no longer can afford to subsidize. The more funds we use to subsidize shipments, the lesser stock we can bring in.
We would like to remind our valued Jammers that shipping rates have been re-calculated to cover the postage charges. We still do not charge on handling fees and packing materials to keep our shipping rates as low as possible. AsiaJam still remains as one of the lowest shipping charger on the internet for international shipments.
Thanks for understanding!! Fuel price hikes are such a bummer
