HELLO

HERE'S THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS SHIPPING...

 

We all love the magic of ordering something online and poof — it shows up at the door in two days (or less) with “Free Shipping.” We get it. Amazon trained us all well.

​

But here’s the honest truth: shipping is never actually free — especially not for small businesses like ours. For every cozy box of popcorn that arrives at your doorstep, we’re juggling costs, dimensions, weights, zones, and a whole lot of tape.

​

SO WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY PAYING FOR?

 

Even though popcorn is light (thank goodness), shipping carriers charge based on dimensional weight — which means we’re also paying for the space our popcorn takes up in a truck or plane, not just its weight. Popcorn's puffiness = pricier boxes.

​

As a small, community-rooted business, we can’t afford to quietly absorb those shipping costs like the big guys. And honestly? We don’t want to hide them in our product prices either. You deserve to know what you’re paying for — and why.

​

🚚 WHAT WE CAN DO!

 

We do everything we can to:

• 🕵️‍♀️ Hunt down the best shipping rates (without asking you to wait weeks)

• ⏱️ Choose fast, reliable delivery options — no popcorn should sit around

• 🍿 Package your order in freshness-locking bags so your popcorn arrives tasty and ready to share (or not share — we won't judge)

​

We’re constantly working to lower shipping costs for our customers while maintaining quality and freshness. It’s a balance — and one we’re committed to improving every day.

​
