Shipping: Domestic For shipping within the USA we normally use USPS Priority Mail flat rate at $5.50 USD for one catalog. With two catalogs being shipped we'll try to fit into one USPS Priority Flat Rate envelope at $6.00 USD. On multiple purchases (i.e. two or more catalogs) we default to USPS combined media mail as the best available rate. If the catalog is oversized(FYI the oversized catalogs will not fit into a P.M. envelope) or upon request USPS media mail shipment on a normal size catalog starts at $4.00 USD within the USA.   International For the majority of our international customers on one normal size catalog shipment we will use USPS Priority Flat Rate at $12.00 USD (depending on availability to your country). Canada shipping is $10.00 via USPS Priority serivce. Please note: If the catalog is oversized we cannot use Priority Mail Flate-rate but other options are available. For two catalog shipments we can sometimes combine both catalogs into one Priority mail envelope at $12.50 USD, but check with us first to make sure that both catalogs do not exceed 4 U.S. pound weight limit or are oversized.  A great feature that is now available is Priority Mail Flate-rate Box which means we can put up to 20 pounds in weight of catalogs or roughly 7-10 catalogs (depending on the size of the catalogs) into one box for $42.00 to most international countries and to Canada & Mexico is only $28.00. If your country does not have USPS Priority availability we will default to USPS Air Letter or USPS Air Parcel service on multiple catalog orders. FYI oversized catalogs will not fit into a Priority Flate-rate envelope and default to Air Parcel or Letter.
