Shipping: Buyers pay shipping costs. I've been trying to keep the costs down, but heavier lots need more expensive padded envelopes or boxes. I try to mark every lot with my best guess at the shipping weight. Packaging adds a half ounce to small lots, 1 to 2 ounces for padded envelopes or cardboard backing on medium lots, and up to 8 ounces for heavy boxes, large flats or mailing tubes. New postal rates! May 2007 -- I have to shift to calculated rates for shipping. I add small but reasonable shipping/packing costs, usually my cost plus $0.50 or less. And I will be shipping all lots under an ounce for FREE (within the USA) for a while. Shipping note: I will always combine shipping costs if you win multiple lots. And I will add free REGISTERED MAIL upon request for any lots over $100, because I want to make sure they're trackable. Accuracy: I try to describe all lots accurately, but I must do it quickly. Collections of stamps on pages will have a range of conditions, mostly fine stamps with some minor flaws possible. I can't expertise all stamps (absolutely guarantee they're genuine), but I do my best to weed out the bad ones and present the best material I can find. Removing stamps from pages? Sorry, but I can't spend extra time to remove stamps from album pages or stock pages to save on shipping. This could take 15 or 20 minutes or more, and there is a risk of stamps getting damaged. A realistic fee for my time would be more than the savings in postage. Overseas: Customs forms: Please don't ask me to write anything special on the customs forms, or to mark merchandise as gifts. I report the accurate values and descriptions of all shipments. Import fees are the responsibility of the buyer -- please be familiar with your country's laws and tariffs. Thanks.
