You might talk to your tanner and let them tell you... if you call UPS they can't tell you squat.

UPS rates just went up after Christmas. Shipping isn’t cheap. Isn't that the truth. I keep wondering when the point will come where a lot of say ebay sellers and other "ma & pa" type of small businesses simply get forced out selling to distant points across the country? The ratcheting up in shipping prices has been going on for years, even when oil is cheap.

How far from Wellsburg Iowa are you? You could probably drive there and back for alot less than the shipping cost would be. It's a bit of a haul for me, but from where in Wisconsin I'm at I leave home and be back in about 7 hours. Nice road trip if you don't mind alot of flat land. Sleepy Creek Tannery. looks like around 350 miles from my front door to Wellsburg Iowa
