Hi,
Does anyone know if Dutch or RBTR offer free or discounted shipping?
Haven't ordered from RTBR.
I've ordered from Dutch twice and currently putting together yet another. In both cases, packages were somewhat bulky. The shipping charges were ridiculously low. As in way cheaper than it costs me to ship. And he didn't ship them by camel. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it appears that some of the shipping costs are already leeching in to profits.
As a cottage vendor, I suspect he would have to alter his business model and raise all product costs in order to offer free shipping.
All opinion and speculation here.
If you consider that many times it costs more than they charge to ship the items you want then yes they both offer discounted shipping.
Free shipping is never free, you pay for it in the cost of the products.
I would rather pay the shipping and know I'm getting top quality products from a couple of really great guys than get "free" shipping from a questionable vendor somewhere else on the net.
Also both Kyle and Dutch ship super FAST. Dutch has been known to have your order at your door 5 seconds before you place the order.

for me dutch,s shipping is the cheapest, shipping outa the usa to Canada, and really fast never any problems ,my wife got free shipping on some xmas stuff she is excepting ,( not hammock stuff ) and the free shipping will take 21 days
always use tree straps please
RSBTR is flat rate $6.50 for any order. Usually this is competitive, and even a good deal for large orders, unless you're just ordering some smaller items. Then it can be beneficial to order elsewhere.
Dutch offers First Class (order less than 13oz) and Priority 2-Day shipping, based on whichever will be cheaper.
My orders are usually big enough with RBTR that when I use the hammock forums 5% coupon it basically turns in to a free shipping code.
Ok, thanks the info everyone!
While I'm used to Amazon Prime where I get free 2 day shipping I gotta say Dutch's is relatively cheap compared to others and definitely faster at that.
