When we signed up with DHL we had some half-way decent rates but not as good as I would have hoped. As such we ate a lot of those fees and well they have recently reevaluated our fees and determined an increase of at least 25% was warranted. Of course as a small business these fees are astounding in the big picture. Packages we are shipping for $39 are now costing us closer to $60 which forces us to now have to pass these fees along to you.
We are also charged $35 a week for daily pickup too which is silly in my view as well.
I contacted my rep to see what he can do to lower my rates. Until we can get them to a reasonable rate we need to pass along these prices to you.

We are now offering Overnight Saturday on retail orders, which will be available from Thursdays after 2pm through Fridays before 2pm. Unlike our deeply discounted 2nd Day rates, including Saturdays, there is an additional charge for overnight Saturdays ($15.97).
You will find this option under Extra Services tab directly underneath the payment selection section.
Please note: If this service is unavailable in your area from FedEx we will return this fee as a voucher. If...03-21-2023, 10:11 AM -
FedEx is having issues with its shipping software. We cannot select Saturday deliveries, and Tech Support knows the situation. Depending on how late it goes, I might just ship them 2nd Day Monday delivery.12-08-2022, 12:47 PM

The USPS has increased its rates which is reflected in our shipping charges and free shipping threshold.
The USPS is still experiencing significant shipping delays across all services.
First Class Mail typically takes 3-5 days but with expected delays, it more realistically can take 2-3 weeks
Priority Mail typically takes 2-3 days but with expected delays, it more realistically can take 1-2 weeks (we've seen some take 2-3 months)
Express typically takes...10-26-2021, 09:28 AM -
Just an FYI that the USPS is still experiencing massive delays in getting Priority Mail delivered. If you order USPS Priority Mail you can expect delays, by as much as a couple of weeks. XS is not responsible for these delays as they are completely out of our hands. FedEx 2nd Day is a much better option: It's more economically priced and way more reliable. Sometimes FedEx does experience issues, but nothing like the post office. Worst part about it is they actually raised the prices.
