If a shipping quote is offered in the item description section above the pictures, that is the applicible rate and additional charges or insurance will not be added. If the shipping cost is not listed above, the below costs are to be assumed. In general, we are not making money on shipping and insurance and charge at the approximate cost for USPS shipping and materials to anywhere in the world.
We offer USPS shipping services only, and we cannot ship items using any other carrier for either domestic or international mailings. We pack single stamps in a protective mount, between two pieces of thick cardboard, in a strong envelope. All items are carefully packed and protected, but we regret that we cannot be responsible for any uninsured items lost or damaged in the mail.
Basic costs for this specific lot are as below:
U.S.A. $11.00. Canada $23.00 Worldwide $37.00 We will gladly hold and combine multiple lots for a single shipping with the first lot receiving the standard shipping rate and each additional lot at a charge of $0.50. We will only combine lots purchased within a seven (7) day time period.
POSTAL INSURANCE: We ask your understanding that postal insurance is a condition of all purchases with a final value of $49.50 or over, and that because of the terms of PayPal’s buyer protection policy this also applies when the purchaser has their own insurance coverage.
i) USA Addresses: We charge basic USPS rates, for USA addresses only these are as below:
$2.50 for up to $200.00 insurance coverage
plus an extra $1.25 for every additional $100.00 of insurance coverage.
ii) All Other Countries:- For smaller items such as single stamps, groups of stamps, covers etc. USPS Registered Airmail Letter Post is required, as this is the only way to provide limited insurance cover and the proof of delivery required by PayPal's Buyer Protection Scheme. Registration fee is $9.95, plus regular mailing costs as described above. For larger items, such as books or collections, we can normally use USPS Air Mail Parcel Post, which can be insured at economical rates.
Exact costs to any destination are available on request at any time.
