International Winners 

 Flatrate economy s&h outside North America is $124.50 TO $144.50 + insurance.  Buyer is responsible for duty taxes, brokerage fees, oversize shipment costs or other costs related to international shipping (collected by carrier or customs).  Many countries have size limitations for postal service shipments which means larger packages can be 2 or 3 times the cost to ship. In addition, international shipping requires a great deal more handling. If in doubt regarding s&h costs please email prior to bidding. International shipping by usps is very often very slow in arriving due to customs centers and postal regulation. We will provide all documentation but assume no responsibility for delay.  If on-time receipt is important you want to use UPS but the cost may be more than 3-times postal rates. No returns are accepted from international deals.  Returns products accepted only from qualified U.S. domestic winners

note canadian customers please email:. Flatrate economy s&h is $59 + insurance. Our experience with USPS has led us to prefer UPS for on time, reliable trackable shipping. However while all Canadians must pay assessed duty,  the brokerage fee is higher than USPS. Noting our preference, we will ship USPS unless you notify us otherwise.  Thanks
