Postage Woes


The U.S. Postal Service is implementing a price increase this month, and it's a doozy.  In all the years I've been shipping vintage around the world, I have never seen such a major price increase hit all at once.  Those of you who order from overseas will be especially hard hit.  And I am very sorry about that.  Increased shipping costs will affect us all and there is no way to avoid them.  Here at Couture Allure, we haven't raised our shipping charges since 2010, but I cannot absorb the increases this time. It pains me to announce this, but our shipping prices have been increased as of today.  I have held the line as tightly as possible for you, but I know you will notice the difference.  Unfortunately, it is unavoidable.
