You may have noticed that after 2 1/2 years of offering free domestic shipping to wholesale (and $30 off for international shops), we have changed our wholesale shipping cost set-up. 

No matter how much you order, or what size products you purchase, you will only pay $38 for domestic shipping, and international shipping has returned to the actual USPS Priority Mail International cost.

• We did a deep analysis of our actual shipping costs for U.S. wholesale shipments and found that $38 would cover most of our shipping costs.
• The $38 figure we determined is slightly less than our average shipping cost, and is below 10% of the average wholesale order value.
• The advantage for shops is that you can order Knitter's Blocks, Maker's Boards, and other large or heavy products without incurring additional shipping costs.

Another hidden benefit of this set-up is that Cocoknits charges actual USPS shipping rates for direct-to-customers retail orders on our website. This incentivizes customers to purchase from their LYS. 

We began the free shipping offer in an effort to ease the strain that the pandemic put on small businesses. Obviously, times are still a bit tough and the costs of manufacturing, shipping, and warehousing continue to rise significantly, so offering free shipping is no longer sustainable for us. We've tried to create the most equitable set-up that will benefit us all.

Thank you for understanding.

Folks are excited to be back together at NYS Sheep + Wool Festival - are you going?

Unfortunately, Cocoknits isn't able to attend this year, but we're wondering if any of you wonderful folks will be - and bringing some Cocoknits goodies to sell? We've had people ask if there will be some place they can buy our products at Rhinebeck, and we'd love to shout out your booth location on social media so fans can find you! Email me (wholesale@cocoknits.com) and let me know your location.

We appreciate your ongoing support and if there are other ways we can continue to support you, please let us know.

Thanks, ~ Jennifer (Wholesale Director)

Free shipping for shops in the U.S. will end September 30, 2022. Beginning October 1st all wholesale orders shipping within the U.S. will now have $38 Flat Rate shipping.

No matter how much you order, or what size products you purchase, you will only pay $38 for shipping. (see below for more info on how we determined this) 

International shipments will return to actual USPS Priority International shipping charges, without the $30 discount starting October 1st

We encourage you to place stock-up-for-Holiday orders now to take advantage of the last weeks of free shipping and be fully prepared for sales in the upcoming season. The codes LYSLOVE and LYSLoveInternational will expire on September 30th.

Why is free and reduced shipping ending?

Since March 2020 we have offered free shipping to U.S. shops and $30 off for international shops in an effort to ease the strain that the pandemic has put on small businesses. The costs of manufacturing, shipping, and warehousing continue to rise significantly, and offering free shipping is no longer sustainable for us. 

How does this benefit shops?

Cocoknits charges shipping for retail orders (direct-to-customer orders) on Cocoknits.com. This incentivizes customers to purchase from their LYS. 

Now that wholesale orders have a fixed shipping cost, you can plan orders knowing in advance how much shipping will cost, and incorporate that fixed shipping cost into your pricing. This ultimately provides savings to the retail customers when purchasing Cocoknits products from you, their LYS. 

Why charge $38 for shipping?

We did a deep analysis of our actual shipping costs for U.S. Wholesale shipments and found that $38 would cover most of our costs in the long run. Cocoknits products have a very wide range of dimensions and weights which makes shipping complicated and estimating shipping costs for individual orders even more complicated. $500 worth of Stitch Stoppers ships differently than $500 worth of Knitter’s Block Kits. 

The $38 figure we determined is slightly less than our average shipping cost, and is under 10% of the average wholesale order value. The best part is that you can order Knitter’s Blocks, Maker’s Boards, and other large or heavy products without incurring additional shipping costs! 

We appreciate your ongoing support and if there are other ways we can continue to support you, please let us know.

We are still offering Free Shipping to all US shops, and $30 off for shops outside the US - but we'll be ending this offer October 1st. Two years has been a good long run, but we've found that we can no longer afford to support shops in this way. Rather than raise product prices, we will be returning to charging for shipping with a modified plan. More details to come!

Until Sept 30th, please continue to use the following codes in the 'discount code' box on the checkout screen:

• for shops with US addresses - LYSlove
• for shops outside the US - LYSloveInternational

Thanks!  ~ Jennifer
