flexible measuring tape / one vintage or secondhand sourced 60” tape ruler for taking measurements inches centimeters

Description

When you purchase this listing, you will receive one secondhand sourced measuring tape in excellent to as-new condition shipped in 100% reused materials via ground transit to reduce (by roughly 90% ) the transit-specific emissions tied to your order. While this isn’t always cost effective for a single small item, we gladly cover the cost when your order totals $35 or more in product, so take a meander through our other sewing materials and tools before checkout.

You’re likely aware that almost all lifecycle emissions for durable goods are generated before those products reach point of sale — hence the quantifiable climate-preserving benefit of choosing to extend the useful life of existing goods rather than purchasing new ones (again, roughly 90% fewer emissions – often more!).

You may be surprised to learn (as we were — check our discovery at shopjunket.com/data!) that as long as orders aren’t shipped via a plane, freight shipping emissions are surprisingly low on a per-finished-product basis (unlike travel for humans or the compounded -pre-manufacturing transit emissions generated to move raw materials prior to distillation, concentration, etc.). And, since emissions are cumulative, secondhand product is a better choice even if you *are* in need of a rush order of fast turnaround…

We set our shipping rates to accommodate the minimum ground shipping charge for your shipping zone. If we can ship your order via first class mail without involving flight-based transit (typically possible within about 250 miles of Minneapolis based on USPS dynamic shipping zones), we will do so- and we’ll gladly refund the overage.
