See Ebay Shipping Calculator on the bottom of this listing page for your item. Some of our listings are flat rate so see below.
We're always happy to combine shipping into one package with actual USPS shipping and modest a handling fee. Contact us for this service.
We are also located on the East Coast, so please consider this may be why your shipping is higher than what you may have expected. Always check with us to see if we can ship your package flat rate for $10. Seller's cannot produce listings that give both calculator and flat rate options based upon zip code.
SHIPPING METHODS COMMONLY USED
We normally use USPS Priority Mail, Parcel Post, 1st Class (13 oz. and under) and Express Mail. We never use UPS.
All USPS shipping within the contiguous USA states runs from 3-10 business days unless your package is lost or stolen. We strongly urge that you get insurance since we will not be responsible for lost or stolen packages. Insurance is less than $2 for a $50 value, the post office changes so often it is hard to keep up. (see www.USPS.com for exact rates.)
HANDLING FEE
The average handling fee we charge is $2.
Generally, handling is:
$1-2 for clothing,
$2-3 for breakables such as glass and pottery
$4-5 for large packages with lots of pieces.
Special Art: Depending on size and special handling (see listing description).
PACKAGING
Our packaging conforms with the recommendations of most glass and pottery group Associations. We take special care to make sure you receive your item in the same condition it was in when you purchased it. Also see policy & instructions like above for more information on packaging and shipping.
SMOKE & PET FREE
Since we deal in antiques and collectibles that mostly come from other people's estates, we DO NOT GUARANTEE smoke and pet free product unless we absolutely know this to be true and it is stated as Smoke and/or Pet free in the item description above. We are older people and our smeller is not what it use to be.
