Hello all!

I recently invoiced a 1000 part order 5 dollars cheaper than I needed to. I accidentally
invoiced it as a regular package, not priority mail. I've never made this
mistake before, and was wondering if there was an easy way to ask the buyer to
pay this? Otherwise if I have to I'm fine swallowing it. Thanks!

There's no easy way - I'd recommend just eating the extra cost.

You can ask SUPER nicely, but usually when I am the one to invoice the order
and make a mistake on the quote, I just eat it and ship it out if the customer
already paid my sent invoice.

Just pay the shipping, learn and move on.

Are you certain it has to be Priority Mail? There isn't much of a difference
timewise between Priority and Ground Advantage to most destinations.
