not sure

5. Before we streamlined the website, due to the large variety of items and their different weights, our shipping charges were difficult to calculate. With streamlining the site, we have lowered our shipping charges and our using priority mail with delivery confirmation.

Do the lower shipping charges make you more like to purchase at elliebelly.com? Please check any other boxes that apply, as well.
