The Real Cost of “FREE SHIPPING”
"FREE SHIPPING" might sound like a great deal, but at Jimmy P’s, we know there’s no such thing as a free lunch—or a free shipment. As a third-generation family-owned butcher shop, we’re committed to transparency, and here’s why that’s important.
The Illusion of Free Shipping
When retailers advertise "FREE SHIPPING," they often hide the true cost by inflating product prices. Shipping is bundled into the price of the item, which means you might be paying more than you should. Those averages they use to calculate shipping costs? They often end up overcharging customers who live closer, making up for the shipping costs of those who live farther away.
Why We Do It Differently
At Jimmy P’s, we believe in honest pricing. Instead of masking shipping costs in our product prices, we charge a clear, straightforward rate based on your exact location. No hidden fees, no markups—just fair prices for high-quality meat and honest shipping costs.
Why It Matters
- Fair Pricing: You pay exactly for what you get. No inflated prices to cover hidden shipping costs.
- No Surprises: Know exactly what you’re paying for shipping before you checkout.
- Supporting Local: Our transparent model means local customers aren’t unfairly charged, keeping our family business fair and accountable.
But Why Offer FREE SHIPPING to South Florida?
Because we are in South Florida... Naples/Bonita Springs to be exact. We have a two butcher shops and two restaurants in Southwest Florida. We offer free shipping to our local region because a lot of our customers are here and the cost is drastically lower than other regions.
Our local shipping region comprises of zip code zones that reach up until Tallahassee. After that, shipping prices go way up from one zip code to the next. If we offered free shipping to Georgia, we'd have to do exactly what we don't want to do and raise prices or the free shipping threshold for our Florida residents to pay for those Georgia orders "Free Shipping"
So next time you see "FREE SHIPPING," ask yourself what you’re really paying for. At Jimmy P’s, we offer true value with clear, honest shipping costs. Because for us, transparency isn’t just a policy—it’s a family tradition.
