Shipping Rates


Free Domestic Shipping!

Don't you just hate it when you buy something online and end up paying more in shipping than the cost of the item?  Yeah, we do, too.  That's why Skein Shop has an amazing shipping policy where everything ships free!

Allow us to be blunt for a moment.  Sometimes this policy means we lose money when shipping just one ball of low-cost yarn.  That's ok, we like to think of that as part of our charm.  However, we do reserve the right to refuse and refund an order if someone is repeatedly abusing this offer.

Our standard free shipping goes out via the USPS Ground Advantage service, which usually delivers within 2-7 business days.  The optional priority shipping fee pays for an upgrade to USPS Priority service, which usually delivers within 1-3 business days.

Shipping to Canada, only $15!

We recently added our cousins to the north to our available shipping destinations. Any quantity of yarn will cost just $15 to send your way. Please note you will be responsible for any applicable taxes, import fees, or duties. We ship internationally via USPS as we hear this avoids any unnecessary brokerage fees.

Those great rates, and fast service, too!

All orders placed before 2PM Eastern Time Monday through Friday and before Noon on Saturday will be shipped same day (as long as the Post Office is open).  Depending on order volume, we may sometimes be able to ship orders received after 2PM same day.  Any other potential delays in shipping will be conspicuously noted on the home page.

Please note that these rates apply to packages shipped within the United States and Canada only.  To our other international friends:  Our system will try to calculate shipping to most locations.  If your country is not supported, please contact us directly and we will work with you to determine the appropriate shipping plan.
