whale   Life in Paradise on the island of Maui can  

  be frustrating from time to time…

Blast Off ! Plumeria Island

September 26th, 2008

Hello Maui Shirts.

Today we went to Kennedy Space Center and wore our matching family outfits. We had a photo taken and wanted to share with you the lovely photo.  We received so many compliments and everyone asked where we purchased these from. I just wanted you to know that we told so many families today where we got these.

Sounds like more business is headed your way soon!

Take care,

Kimberly Csabai and Family  /  Merritt Island, Florida

Shipping Cost for beginners

September 21st, 2008

Accountability versus Shipping Cost

Don’t be fooled by offers of free shipping from other Internet sellers. Do the math.

 

One in every few hundred customers has some gripe about the cost of shipping. Let’s get real. These complainers are ignorant of the facts. MauiShirts.com ships from an island, Maui, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Nothing, let me repeat, nothing leaves this island and goes direct to the Mainland. The Post Office, Federal Express, etc. first must move parcels and mail to Honolulu, (that’s the city on Oahu – the main island) and then it moves to the mainland. Any Post Office information about the time it takes to make its deliveries do not include the fact that shipping from Maui requires one or two additional days, depending on the time of day, and sometimes the weather, as to when the shipment is made.

 

MauiShirts.com prices are the lowest on the planet for Paradise Found and R. J. Clancey, Made in Hawaii Aloha wear. Compare apples to apples. You can find web sites that offer free shipping, or lower shipping costs, but their prices for shirts and dresses are higher and their services are different or don’t exist. Do the math. There are more than a dozen sellers offering cheaper, lower quality made in Indonesian or China aloha shirts and dresses. Even the Tommy Bahamas brand is made in China! They make fat profits on this cheap labor made apparel. Comparable Tommy Bahamas shirts are twice the cost of Paradise Found or R.J. Clancey shirts. Many sellers do offer free shipping. If shipping cost is the criteria for your purchase, then, please shop with these vendors. Or, read on.

 

MauiShirts.com brings much more to your transaction than shipping charges. These other sellers do not offer many or none of these services : (1) on-line access to your order, (2) an email confirmation within seconds after you place your order, (3) an email with the Delivery Confirmation Number or Federal Express Tracking Number when the order ships, (4) Full insurance for the cost of your order, (5) a way to track your order while it is in transit from any page of the web site or with the Post Office or Federal Express, (6) lower prices with apples to apples comparison, (7) a toll free number to call if you have a question, the telephone number is not hidden as most other web sites. It is on the bottom area of ALL pages of the web site, (8) a six month period to make an exchange, yes, that is correct, six months – ( no other vender offers this ! ), refunds within ten work days, (some vendors take 30 to 60 days to obtain a refund). And, most of all, no other vendor comes close to the selection offered within the 3,000 plus pages of choices with easy search and navigation. And, last, but not least, every shipment box receives a $ 5.00 coupon for your next purchase. Also, once you place an order with MauiShirts.com you automatically receive the monthly sale usually giving you an additional 10% or more discounts off the already discounted prices.

 

I will add this. If you would like your order shipped without insurance at your own risk, with no recourse if your package does not show up, you can deduct $ 1.70 from your Priority Mail shipment cost. If you want your order shipped without a Delivery Confirmation tracking number and no Internet access, you can deduct another 75 cents. If you want your order shipped without tissue paper and simply folded into a bag or envelope instead of a sturdy Priority Mail box you can deduct another $ 2.00. Your order will ship via parcel post. Estimated wait time can be 15 days and up to 30 days or more. So, there, $ 9.90 is now $ 5.45. This might make the shipping conscious shopper happy. Go for it. Just say what you want to deduct. So, type in your preferences in the “Special Instructions” box of your order form if you want a discounted, no frills, no insurance, no box, slow boat shipment. Your wish is my command.

 

Here are the Post Office facts: You Do the Math – please!

Priority Mail Cost for one pound or less is $ 4.80.

Add additional cost for over one pound.

Example: 1 pound 4 ounces ($ 8.25).

Priority Mail for two pounds is $ 9.80

Add for Insurance of $ 50 or less: $ 1.70

Add more insurance cost if value is over $ 50

Add for Delivery Confirmation: 65 cents

 

As far as $ 19.80 for 2nd Day Federal Express, let me say this. Why don’t you call or go to your local Federal Express office and inquiry as to what the cost is. Believe me. It will be almost twice what we charge.
