*Note:Available in the 48 contiguous US states only.Free shipping or flat shipping is based upon the total dollar value paid for the items.(If you purchase $90 worth of merchandise that has $15 in combined shipping/handling – that would not qualify).Do not pay until we change the amount for you.
For most items, we use actual weights.As a result, on average, combined shipping/handling reduces your cost by $4.00 to $6.00, per additional item purchased.
The listed weight for shipping is the actual weight of the item plus an additional amount for the weight of packing materials and the actual shipper.This is between 4 ounces and 1 pound, depending on the item,
If you plan on
combining, please wait until we send you your invoice. Please DO NOT pay
prior to that. We will package and weigh your box and send you a REVISED
invoice with the discounted shipping.
We only ship to the 50 US states and to Canada. (We only ship
via UPS to Canada and they have an initial
flat rate that may be too costly for the buyer for smaller items.).
Parcel Post Shipping:
While
we have been quoted 4 to 7 days by USPS for anything outside of a 500-mile
radius from our warehouse – we have found that items going to California, as parcel post, may take 3 weeks to arrive – to Texas, 2 weeks.Please
bear in mind that we cannot guarantee the length of time it will take a package
to arrive to you that is sent as parcel post.
Priority MailorOvernight shipping is available for an extra fee -
contact us PRIOR to paying.
Handling costs:
We get many questions regarding
handling costs.
The handling cost, which is already included in the item’s shipping and handling
amount, is used to defray the cost to ship
your purchase. (This is not an additional charge at checkout – it is already
built into the shipping and handling amount.)
For example,
·The cost of the box – on average $1.00 - $1.50;for larger items – $3.00
·The cost of the paper/peanuts/bubble used to wrap your item
– on average $0.50 - $1.00
·The cost of the tape – $0.10 - $0.25
·The cost of the ink and paper for the labels – $0.10
·The cost of warehousing the item $1.50
·The cost of our staff per item $2.50
This totals to approximately $5.70
per item.So the added handling cost for
this item might be $2.00.
For the heavier and larger pieces
– the totals are closer to $10.00.
Note regarding costs:
For those of you whom are curious,
the basic costs associated with eBay and PayPal are approximately 12% - 16% for
the total amount of the sale which is absorbed by our sellers.eBay charges to list the item, for any
additional pictures as well as a percentage of the item’s selling price.PayPal charges a percentage of the item sold
– including its shipping, its handling and EVEN its insurance.

substantially different from the description in the auction listing or in the
online store listing we will honor a return and refund.Returns/refunds are not offered for any other
