I pay shipping: Why?
Why are shipping costs unavoidable?
Every e-commerce site that ships has a cost defined by the contract stipulated with the couriers. These agreements establish specific rates based on parameters such as weight, package size, destination and additional services. As a result, the cost of shipping is always present.
If a store declares "free shipping", in reality the cost of shipping is absorbed into the price of the products, which increases the cost of each item. If you buy multiple items, it is clear that you will pay double, triple shipping etc. depending on the number of items purchased.
Cost transparency
LAMAMITA adopts a different approach, ensuring maximum transparency. Shipping costs are always shown separately, allowing you to know exactly how much you pay for shipping and optimizing costs when you buy multiple products.
The percentage for PayPal: here's why it is applied
PayPal offers a secure and immediate payment system, but with higher commissions than credit card payments via Stripe. For this reason, we apply a 2% commission on payments with PayPal:
- Higher operating costs: PayPal has commissions almost double compared to direct card payments (Stripe).
- Alternative without additional costs: by choosing Stripe, there are no extra costs for the customer, the commission percentage is entirely paid by LaMamita.
Our commitment: quality and fair price
LAMAMITA stands out for its ethical approach:
- Fairly paid artisans: we collaborate with local producers, ensuring them fair compensation.
- Top quality materials: despite the increases in the price of the first materials, 100% alpaca, we continue to offer only excellent products, without opting for cheaper mixed materials.
- Minimum profit for quality: we maintain competitive prices, limiting our margins to support sustainable, respectful production and continuity of work for our artisans.
Conclusion: a conscious choice
Choosing LAMAMITA means supporting authentic craftsmanship and transparent practices. We believe that clarity on costs and the quality of materials must always be at the center of the purchasing experience.
