If you're paid for shipping for 40yrs gonna be hard to send the Drs an invoice that says shipping charge and keep your feed the same lol. Sorry doctor

Here's a thought. The lab who picked up 55,000 units this week charged every case $14 round trip shipping. Guess who that is....

Good old GW..... And I agree with your post about is not charging for shipping for the last 40 years but with the competition these days and the race to the bottom we are just trying to find a away to maybe recover some of that lost money because we have to compete with the $99 FCZ out there. The only way we can compete now is we have to service our clients better and give them a better quality crown which saves them chair time and remakes.

Oh and the last thing you need my friend is less coffee you need more beer.

Do good work and partner with the clients and they will not leave you over price. Hard part is doing that with thousands of them. Just keep your quality high and keep investing in the business and never stop improving every single nook and cranny and we will be fine

I think with removable you price to absorb the shipping is quite hard to look competitive when you do not line item.

Think of it this way you have 4 appointments for a simple full denture, the case is heavy and requires a bigger than average box is you mount on simple articulators. It will cost you at least 100 for the 8 trips this case must take. This price is with a good Discount with ups or using the flat rate with the post office.

Agree about it being hard to charge fairly on the removables work, it's always gonna be a struggle IMO with so many trips forward & back. Even local pickup & delivery has a high value and should be charged accordingly. It seems a higher price and compatible standards are required to make it possible. Tough issue.
