Shipping rates shown are for the United States. We ship via the U.S. Postal Service using different methods.....Priority Mail, First Class, Media Mail and Parcel Post.....depending on the size and contents of the package.We have no control over the USPS delivery schedules or handling after a package leaves our hands and cannot be responsible for lost or damaged items. We offer USPS insurance as an option for domestic shipments.
We do not offer insurance for international shipments. Those packages are shipped at buyer's risk.
International bidders should contact us for shipping charges before bidding as rates vary according from country to country. We will not falsify custom documents for international shipments. Please do not ask.
International bidders must pay through Paypal.
We now purchase a Certificate of Mailing for all international packages as proof of shipment. This is an additional fee that is included in the shipping amount quoted, but is not included in the postage affixed to the package.
We will combine items for shipping if the items can be packed together. Sometimes this is not possible. But, when possible we will be glad to do so if items are purchased within the same calendar week.
Buyers must let us know if they are purchasing more than one item, wait for a combined invoice and pay for the items in one single, lump sum payment. If this is not done, we will have to charge the shipping rates posted on each listing.
At this time we are able to go to the Post Office only once per week, usually, but not always, on Wednesday or Thursday.
