Combined Shipping:
If you make multiple purchases and we later
discover shipping has been overstated, we will refund any excess ~
whether you ask us to or not! We combine shipping charges for items
purchased or won within a 5 day period.
USPS:
We try to offer several methods of shipping
via U.S. Mail with each package. Please check the list at checkout carefully as
each method offers shipping times vary greatly. We ship within 24 hours but
cannot be responsible for the speed, accuracy or handling by the postal
service.
Media Mail ~ for books, CDs,
DVDs, and other media products. Not for general merchandise. Quite inexpensive,
but very slow (average 7-10 days, not available for
Canada).
First Class ~ for any item up
to 13 ounces. Available for domestic or international shipments. Reasonably fast
(average 3-5 days for domestic and 7-14 days for
Canada).
Priority Mail ~ Fastest method
other than an overnight service. Available for domestic or international
shipments.Reasonable domestic rates for 1 or 2 pounds and quite fast (average
2-3 days for domestic). For Canada, priority is required for a package weighing
4 pounds or more. Not necessarily faster than First Class International and is
more prone to random searches by Customs.
Flat-rate Priority ~ Same as
above but limited by box size.
Parcel Post ~ A less expensive
alternative to Priority but takes longer, sometimes significantly longer
(average 7 - 10 days, not
available for Canada shipping).
Express Mail ~ An overnight
service to most areas, but terribly expensive and usually not worth the
cost.
U.S.

no wrapping, it is new and has never been used prior to arriving in your
hands.
