Why is International Shipping so Expensive?
We do our best to charge 'actual cost only' on all shipping, but PayPal Policies & the US Postal Service have increasingly driven up International shipping costs.

WE SHIP INTERNATIONALLY ONLY BY USPS Priority International or USPS Global Express.

Due to PayPal protection policies and insurance requirements that protect buyer & seller, we are forced to ship only by methods that have 'online clickable tracking', and the Post Office ONLY provides this on Priority International or Global Express.
We cannot ship First Class because it is not trackable or insurable. We know First Class is sometimes cheaper, but we cannot send items without tracking and insurance.
We keep the costs down for you in every way we can AND we insure all items!

*We do use Flat Rate envelopes and Flat Rate boxes as often as possible if it saves you money.

*If the eBay shipping calculator is showing you a figure you feel is too high -- please contact us to verify it for you -- it could be a mistake. Again -- PLEASE NOTE -- we are not making money on shipping! In most cases we lose money and we rarely accidentally overcharge. If we do overcharge you and notice it, we will gladly refund you the difference.

* Happy to Post Terrific Positive Feedback for All Good Buyers! *
