Items are shipped within 48 hours of funds clearing my bank. Winners of all auctions must contact me within 48 hours of a winning bid. I will contact you as soon as possible. All items are packed very securely and are insured if you would like them to be. Insurance is $1.65 for the first $50.00 and $1.00 for every $50.00 after that. All prices quoted in emails are exact shipping costs to winner and are for shipping and handling in the United States. I do ship to other countries but arrangements must be made prior to me giving you a total.
