Yep, Naked Noods will have flat rate shipping (for Naked Noods only orders)! Except, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, or in this case, true free shipping. The secret to all free or flat rate shipping, including ours, is that the shipping cost is included in the product price itself.

In previous discussions with our customers, we’ve noted how much it affects the perception and sales by displaying real shipping costs, and we’re at the point where it’s costing us quite a bit. We also get dozens of abusive messages about shipping, claiming that we’re trying to profiteer off of it instead of just passing along the costs we’re given by shipping companies, and having to read those messages every day definitely takes its toll on our mental health. Here’s a link to why we’ve done shipping costs the way we did.

To compromise, we’re going to be wrapping up the prices into the base cost of the product, but publishing the true cost of shipping in order to maintain transparency. We hope that will make the shipping costs easier to swallow, reduce abusive messages(and preserve our mental health), and still maintain our goal of staying transparent!
