I purchase packing materials, boxes, labels and tape. Ebay figures their charges on the entire price including shipping. That is why I charge as correct a shipping amount accounting for my supplies. Most clear glass votive cups are shipped, boxed separately in outer box for safety. 

If there is any problem or concern, please contact me. If I cannot help you or correct an issue, feel free to open a dispute with Ebay. I find contacting the seller first is a much better avenue to take.

Any question about item, please contact. I respond on a daily basis if not sooner.
