I'm going to clever us into the poorhouse
I got to thinking, maybe those Ebay customers who are only wanting maybe one giant pen, or a Cubes delivery guy, maybe they are put off by the $4.99 flat rate shipping - So I made a deal in the auction/ebaystore template whereas we will send them a no-strings coupon worth $3 on their next order if the shipping is more than a dollar over what our shipping cost is.
Nevermind the fact that there is more to shipping than just postage, we have to buy the non-priority boxes, plus there's bubblewrap, all sorts of tape, and equipment like you would not believe. Plus the tape-gun repairman is taking two of our tape guns to the shop for complete rebuild and destickify process.
Also and most unfortunately for us tax-wise, we live in Washington state, them in Olympia and some other fat-cat friendly states are setting up tax-collection rules that will swat tiny internet businesses like the fruit flies around the festering trashcan of business that we are. OK, my analogy got a little haywire, but you get the idea.
Oh, and there's the Diet Coke. This place runs on Frappe Freeze, Kahlua and Diet Coke.
