Buyer pays Priority Mail/PP/UPS/FedEx shipping cost which due to Ebay policy changes always includes insurance either through carrier or 3rd party insurance.
Styrafoam packaging protects your item better than most other methods & also reduces packed weight, in most cases reducing shipping cost & eliminating the chance of receiving your fragile item(s) in more pieces than expected. REST ASSURED...... Unlike sellers who ship fragile items with inadequate packaging *i.e. crumpled paper which does not protect fragile items well & often results in shipping costs being at the next pound increment, fragile items are professionally packaged at no additional cost to buyer with bubble wrap and lightweight styrafoam materials & to anticipate the worst postal/carrier handling.
High bidder must make contact and payment MUST be received w/in 7 business days of auction closing unless prior arrangements are made.
