Shipping & Pricing in 2025

Shipping & Pricing in 2025

❗️ᴘʀɪᴄɪɴɢ & ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ: ᴇɴᴅ-ᴏꜰ-ʏᴇᴀʀ ᴇᴅɪᴛɪᴏɴ❗️⁠

As we stumble toward the end of 2024 and into the mysterious void of 2025, here’s what you need to know about shipping and pricing at Undercover Otter: ⁠⁠

🚚 ​ꜰɪɴᴀʟ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ ᴅᴀᴛᴇꜱ ɪɴ 2024
• Monday, December 23rd ⁠
• Monday, December 30th

 📦 ​ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ ʀᴇꜱᴜᴍᴇꜱ
• Monday, January 6th, 2025 ⁠

📈 ​ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ ᴄᴏꜱᴛꜱ ɪɴ 2025
 I’d rather you pay exactly what shipping costs me (which is how we charge shipping currently) instead of hiking up yarn prices to compensate. Starting in January, shipping rates will rise to reflect what I’m actually charged by the post office, because I want you to know where your money goes.⁠ ⁠

🎉 ​ɢᴏᴏᴅ ɴᴇᴡꜱ ᴏɴ ʏᴀʀɴ ᴘʀɪᴄᴇꜱ
Here’s the deal: yarn prices for current stock are staying exactly where they are. Despite rising costs across the board, I’m able to keep prices steady for now because you deserve a win, we all do to be honest.⁠ ⁠

🧶ʜᴏᴡ ɪ ᴘʀɪᴄᴇ ʏᴀʀɴ (ᴀᴋᴀ: ᴡʜᴇʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴍᴏɴᴇʏ ɢᴏᴇꜱ)⁠
• Raw Materials – Yarn, dyes, additives, and all the good stuff that makes the magic happen.⁠
• Utilities – Water, electricity, rent, packaging, equipment—everything that keeps the lights on and the yarn flowing.⁠
• Admin & Financial Chaos – Website upkeep, payment fees, software, accounting (ugh), bank fees, taxes, licenses, and permits.⁠
• Labor-Intensive Magic – Turning undyed yarn into something squishy, glorious, and stash-worthy (aka: my attempt at paying myself a livable wage).⁠ ⁠

There’s no glucose guardian, no generational wealth, no subsidies, and no underpaid goblins doing the work. It’s just me, doing my best to keep this ship afloat ethically, sustainably, and affordably.

Thank you for supporting this little chaos-fueled business, and for being the kind of people who make this world of hand-dyed yarn so worth it. You keep the cauldrons bubbling, the lights on, and my heart full.🖤
