I ordered so long ago that I had forgotten about the order. I know that shipping is getting very expensive and I am sure Belle is looking for the best deals. It is like anything else --- you want it fast/now you will pay more for shipping --- wait a little time and the shipping is cheaper. I like cheaper! The product isn't Saks 5th Ave quality, but neither is the price. I like to buy things that make my man take a second look without breaking the bank. It is fun to buy low-cost items that you would never buy at the high price stores due to the high cost -- I like to see that second look. I will order again!
