Prices not lining up properly

All of the prices for each shipping option seem to be one line above the option name. Any idea how to get them to line up?

Re: Prices not lining up properly

Where are you seeing this?

P.S. Your site is really slow, so browsing trying to find it is taking forever. Some image optimization would really help, but I suspect you're on a slow server too.

Re: Prices not lining up properly

I don't think I know what you mean by image optimization. Any suggestions to make my site faster would be great. I am on a GoDaddy server. I don't know if that is a fast or slow one.

If you go to the checkout page where you select the type of shipping you want (UPS, USPS etc). You will see that, for instance, the $0.00 is a line above "Walk-in", "$18.30" is a line above "Express Mail Flat Rate Envelope", etc.

I mean that even your thumbnail images are enormous, almost 1700 x 1700 pixels with correspondingly big filesizes, so they take a long time to load.

This is made still worse by the slow speed with which they're being served by GoDaddy. You may want to ask them how many other sites are on the same server and what types of sites they are? If the answers are a lot and the other sites are dynamic (rather than static) request a move to a less crowded server.

Re: Prices not lining up properly

Thanks for the advise. I will reduce the file sizes and call GoDaddy. I appreciate your suggestions.

Any idea about my original question about the shipping prices not lining up with the shipping option name?

Re: Prices not lining up properly

Another piece of advice, If you want people to look at parts of your site that require an account, create a test account. That will help to keep testing activity separate from real activity and remove a barrier to getting to the place you want people to look at.

Also, it takes an awful lot of clicks to get to anywhere on the site where a purchase can be made. Maybe that's appropriate for your business, but there's not much guidance to visitors as to how to get there.
