You can estimate your shipping costs by going to this USPS page and entering your zip code and mine (03824). Select "large envelope". Weights for most slings are between 12-17 oz, and the majority of slings will be under 16 oz. Cost is usually between $4.95 and $9.55, depending on the package's weight and how far you are from NH. (Heavier fabrics include the stretch sateen, slingified wraps, brocade, and slings sized L and longer.)

PayPal eChecks:

The following information is copied from the PayPal website's "Help" section. I would post links, except that they do not seem to be static, and require a login to view them.

Q What is an eCheck?

A An eCheck is an electronic funds transfer that withdraws money directly from your bank account. It's just like writing a check, only it is done electronically.

• When you send money with an eCheck from a U.S. bank account, the transaction is held as pending for 3-4 business days, until the electronic funds transfer clears your bank
• When you send money with an eCheck from a Canadian bank account, the transaction is held as pending for 7-8 business days, until the electronic funds transfer clears your bank
• When you send money with an eCheck from a U.K. bank account, the transaction is held as pending for 7-9 business days, until the electronic funds transfer clears your bank
• When you send money with an eCheck from an Australian bank account, the transaction is held as pending for 7-8 business days, until the electronic funds transfer clears your bank.

Your recipient's balance does not reflect your eCheck payment until the funds transfer is complete.

Q Why should I use an eCheck?

A When you use eCheck, you don't have to have a credit card or alternate funding source attached to your PayPal account. In addition, using eCheck means you won't incur credit card debt, since the money comes directly out of your bank account. eCheck is like writing a check, only faster and more secure.

Q When I make an eCheck payment, when will the money be debited from my bank account?

A PayPal sends the request to your bank immediately. It can take up to four business days to complete an electronic funds transfer. If your bank initially declines the electronic funds transfer, the payment can be delayed for up to an additional seven business days. In this case, the Expected Clearing Date listed in the recipient's transaction history is updated to reflect the new date.

Because an eCheck takes some time (between 4-9 business days) to clear, I have to treat an eCheck transaction like a standard bank check, and cannot send your sling or other items until the eCheck clears. Please be sure you understand this before ordering, and if you will be using an eCheck, please use the "check/eCheck/money order" option (as described in the Points section).
