See Ebay Shipping Calculator on the bottom of this listing page for your item. Some of our listings are flat rate so see below.
We're always happy to combine shipping into one package with actual USPS shipping and a modest handling fee. Contact us for this service.
We are also located on the East Coast, so please consider this may be why your shipping is higher than what you may have expected or have seen on other similar listings.
Always check with us to see if we can ship your package in either a small flat rate for $10 or a large flat rate box for $13.25.
A Seller "cannot" use both a Priority Mail shipping cost based upon ["both" weight & flat rate]. You can only pick one or the other when you create a listing for the Ebay Listing System.
This is why we normally list based upon weight since if you are on the East Coast, it allows the East Coast customer the benefit of a much lower shipping cost.
If you're on the West Coast where distance will greatly increase your shipping cost, please contact us about the shipping charges before abandoning the listing. If the item is small enough (since the flat rate boxes are pretty small) but heavy, the item you're interested in may be able to be shipped in a Priority Mail Flat Rate box for less than what is being shown on the shipping calculator at the bottom of this listing.
HANDLING FEE
The average handling fee we charge is $2.
Generally, handling is:
$1-2 for clothing,
$2-3 for breakables such as glass and pottery
$4-5 for large packages with lots of pieces.
Special Art: Depending on size and special handling (see listing description).
PACKAGING
We take great care in packaging your items and only pack something in the same manner we'd like to receive it. We use the USPS guidelines so you're insured package will never be questioned should something happen to it in transit. We never use UPS since just about every package we've ever received from them is dented beyond belief.
Our packaging on glass and pottery conforms with the recommendations given by glass and pottery group associations. We take special care to make sure you receive your item in the same condition it was in when you purchased it. Also see policy & instructions link above for more information on packaging and shipping.
SMOKE & PET FREE
Since we deal in antiques and collectibles that mostly come from other people's estates, we DO NOT GUARANTEE smoke and pet free product unless we absolutely know this to be true and it is stated as Smoke and/or Pet free in the item description above. We are older people and our smeller is not what it use to be. If you should receive an item that is offensive to the smell for any reason and you do not want the product, we almost always have a refund policy on returns.
Check the bottom of this listing page for return policies that apply to this listing.
We generally have a 7 day return policy (less your return shipping fee).
All tags must be returned intact. Do not wash items if you want to return them. We can identify our merchandise and will not tolerate "bait and switchers". If we even suspect a "bait and switch", we reserve the right to not refund regardless of the listed return policy.
