What are Shipping Costs?
Dixie Pieces charges actual shipping. I know, wow, right?! They ship via USPS Priority but they also offer you USPS First Class if you are willing to wait and want to save a little bit on shipping.
Also, they do offer international shipping also at actual postage costs.

Paper kits are mailed within 48 hours of the purchase, and the digital kits are available for immediate download.
What I Like About this Kit
First off, communication with Dixie Pieces is very good! I contacted them through their website and I received a response within the time frame they stated it would take. I was writing with questions and even though I am not a subscriber they still took the time write a friendly and detailed response. If they are willing to be this for me then I think it is safe to assume they will go the extra mile for their subscribers. I know that for communication and customer service is a top priority and Dixie Pieces is top in that regard.
If you are looking for an active and friendly group of scrapbookers then you really should check out the forum at Dixie Pieces. You do not have to be a subscriber to view or register for the forums. The design team (as well as other members) are active on the forums.
Come on, you couldn’t ask for better shipping options. They also offer some additional products in the store that you can add to your purchase and imagine how much you will save in shipping costs alone by shopping at Dixie Pieces.
