We can see how you feel that way.
When you order after the deadline, we are unable to group your order with others. We incur additional postage costs to send separate packages and it takes us more effort to process your order individually. We pass a part of this cost to you.
We try to keep as many photos on file for as long as possible so you can order from several years ago. Storing files past the due date takes up a lot of disk space. This requires us to spend more on our storage array and we pass a part of this cost to you. To avoid this fee in the future, just make sure to place your order before the deadline.
If you are ordering for more than one child or session, we may be able to combine shipping for you. Contact us so we can take a look at your situation.
