On occasion a customer will leave a comment stating that our shipping charges are higher than expected. I first want our customers to know that our goal is to break even with shipping and the real issue is local retail stores only supplying you headsets but not necessary accessories.
To ship a 1 lb package from Arizona to Chicago (just randomly picking a destination) is approximately $7.50 with UPS (as of April 2009). This doesn’t include the 50-75 cent box cost or the $3-5 for labor to process an order. With our $7.95 flat rate for most orders, you can quickly see that the smaller the order, the more money we’re losing. Because of this, we instituted a $4 handling charge on orders under $9.00 to try and cover some of these losses.
Most local retail stores only provide what’s profitable ($50-100 headsets) and thus don’t offer accessories. Because we empathize with people who can’t find accessories locally, we’re happy to provide them, but our shipping & handling charges must cover our costs, remembering most of the time we didn’t profit from the original sale.
As for alternatives, we have tried the United States Post Office but we ran into a few problems like breakage of items in envelopes; lost shipments; lack of tracking with carrier pick-up; additional labor costs of travel and waiting in line to obtain tracking.
Again, I wanted to be honest and open with you and please know we’re just as frustrated as you. Ultimately, I would suggest voicing your displeasure with your local retail stores for not carrying accessories. We’re always open to your ideas and suggestions so please leave comment and suggestions.
Thanks.

I’ve always heard that Plantronics engineers any new headset to fit comfortably on as many people as possible. This is an amazing picture showing just how many different ears they fit their headsets to: Wall of Ears.
Keith Shaw with Network World gives some great insight on the Plantronics Voyager Pro.
Whether your outfitting your employees to work remotely for short periods of time or permanently, Plantronics offers a robust suite of hands-free communications solutions optimized with business-class sound. Help your employees choose the solution that is right for them, based on mode of communication (home phone, PC, mobile phone), level of mobility needed and short-term or long-term use.
