I accept PayPal and expect payment within 3 days unless you notify me. I usually ship within one business day of receipt of payment. If you're still "shopping" with me, please do NOT check out until you are finished; I can then combine your invoices for the shipping discount.
I package ALL my items with great care; you can bid with confidence and know your winning item will leave my hands securely.
I offer a shipping discount for items combined in same package; if you win this item and will be bidding on other of my auctions, just let me know. I'll invoice you with the shipping discount. I love to combine shipping!
Combined shipping saves you money! To add additional items to your initial purchase usually adds very little weight to the package; I save on shipping supplies and you save money.
I usually ship within 1-2 business day of receiving payment. I offer two to three shipping options so you can determine which level of service suits your needs; if you need to "Get it Fast" or can wait for Media Mail, the choice is yours.
I offer insurance as an option and recommend it for delicate collectibles, but it is your choice.

Please consider only business days when evaluating communication. I'm not always able to check email on weekends and holidays.
When rating on the shipping time, please rate me on the time it took me to mail the item, not the time it took you to receive the item.Please don't hold me responsible for delays in mail services, international custom delays or for the time it took for your payment to clear.
When rating me on the all important shipping and handling charges, remember that sellers may charge actual packaging materials costs and a reasonable handling fee to cover our time and direct costs associated with shipping.For international transactions, buyers may also be responsible for duties, taxes, and customs clearance fees as required by individual country laws.
