I’ve implemented flat rate shipping for all orders going to U.S. addresses at the Seraphin Station shop.  Just about everything ships for $5 in the U.S. What doesn’t ship for $5 ships for $10 (a few large, heavy, and fragile items). See the Shipping Rates page for details. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, because if customers hate complicated and unpredictable shipping rates, I hate having to take out the calculator and scale every time somebody asks me how much it will cost to ship a given item. I finally had enough data to be able to figure out...

I've implemented flat rate shipping. Just about everything ships for $5 in the U.S. What doesn't ship for $5 ships for $10 (a few large, heavy, and fragile items). See the Shipping Rates page for details. I had a ton of info crammed into the collection page for Saints & Spirits, which meant you had to scroll way down before you could see the items listed, and if you were looking for info on saints and spirits, you wouldn't think to look there. I've reorganized to give that info its own page, called Saints, Spirits, & Hoodoo, and that should...

I’m offering community honey jar altar work monthly, beginning after the new moon each month. One service is for matters relating to prosperity/career/income and one is for matters relating to love/relationships (they don’t have to be romantic relationships). February’s community altar work services start the night of Friday, February 12th. There is some wiggle room, however, and you *can* join up late. Since the costs of the time and materials involved in this altar service are split between multiple participants, this is a way to get some altar work done at a fraction of the cost of booking separate, individual...

Check *this* shit out. The USPS has Santa on the crew or something doing some kinda crazy North Pole time-and-space bending magic: The tracking says refused. Customer didn’t refuse it. It was returned to *me.* In Alabama. They’re just freakin’ making shit up at this point. I don’t even know how it’s possible that the scan for delivery shows what it does – I don’t know enough about their computers. But obviously it’s not a seamless, foolproof tracking system  I’m really lucky that the overwhelming majority of my customers are being really super cool about this insanity and aren’t taking...

This item was a shrine/ornament – no prep work involved. No extended handling time or anything. I took it off its altar, blessed it, wrapped it up in tissue paper, boxed it, paid the $35-something for the shipping label because the customer paid for Priority Mail Express, and sent it out that same day for Mike to drop off at the post office. *Which he did, before C.O.B.* Here’s what the tracking says: December 13, 2020, 3:58 pmShipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting ItemGRAND BAY, AL 36541  December 23, 2020, 5:09 amArrived at Post OfficeGRAND BAY, AL 36541  December 23, 2020, 7:42 amRefusedGRAND BAY, AL 36541  December...
