Jeff, your wife's wooden baskets are gorgeous! Can you tell me what she uses for sealing the wood; I'm wondering if it's a product like Thompson's Water Sealer like we used to use on our wood deck and swing? I'm considering ordering one those beautiful baskets! I used to have a similar one that we purchased when on vacation years ago and although it was never sealed and lasted a number of years before falling apart, it would have held up much longer if we'd sealed it.
For those questioning the shipping charges: I went to both the UPS website and US Postal Service site for an estimate of shipping costs from Brunswick, Ga (zip code 31525 to me here in Daytona Beach, Fl (zip code 32119) and used a weight of 15 pounds.
Shipping UPS Ground, the estimate was: $18.20
Shipping US Post Office Ground, the estimate was: $19.60 *
*USPS they required length/width/height of the package so I clicked large package/box and randomly entered a size of 24 inch length, 18 inch height, 24 inch width.
Those were just estimates for my location; shipping charges differ according to zip code destinations but Jeff's shipping charges sound comparable to me.
