Not quite sure if I'm your target audience since I'm outside the US, but I vote for cheaper shipping. Irks me when the only option is USPS Priority Mail and a $10 item costs $30 in shipping. My limit on shipping is usually 1/3 or less of the item value, although I will break that if it's something really important (which most shaving stuff is really not).
I personally don't care as much about speed as I do on the accuracy of the estimated delivery. I'd much rather be told it will be 5 days and it arrive in 4, than be told it will arrive in 3 days and it arrive in 4. In both scenarios the product arrived on day 4, but one I'm happier with than the other. It is simply psychological, but it really will leave you feeling different about the transaction.
Oh yeah, and don't tell me it's shipped just because a shipping label was printed. I just had an etsy artisan tell me my item shipped on the day she printed the label. It was 5 days later when it finally was in the hands of the post office. Argh!

Yup, Brian, definitely one of my complaints, as well.

That irritates me to no end also! The shipping label is the last part of my order process. I don't print it (along with the email) before it's headed out the door.

I think we can all agree on that one...
The only thing worse is when it gets lost somewhere in limbo for a week...

I think all of that is automated in some of the shipping systems.

Then it should be un-automated. I at least understand the automatic email. But when the artisan herself says the item is shipped then we apparently have a different understanding of the word.
