A shipping calculator is available to determine your shipping cost. Packages are shipped once payment is received and cleared. USPS First Class (items under 12 oz â about 2-4 days shipping time); USPS Priority (2-3 shipping days), and USPS Media (5-9 shipping days) are used for shipping in the U.S.A. When items are NOT fragile I will ship Parcel Post (3-9 shipping days) if the item is heavy. ; Media 2-9 days
Normally, you can expect delivery in about 10 working days (this estimate is worse case) once the payment is received/cleared. (Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays are not considered working days)
In most cases (USA shipments) will receive an automated email with the Tracking Number the day your package is being shipped, which is typically within 2-4 days. We combine shipping when applicable â Books or media mail is usually shipped separately since the rate is cheaper.
A modest handling fee (exceptions may occur) of $2.00 to $3.00 will be charged as part of the handling fee to help defray the cost of shipping supplies for your well secured package. We combine shipping if items can be safely packaged together. (Please WAIT FOR AN INVOICE if you would like COMBINED SHIPPING.)
When FREE SHIPPING is offered it IS ONLY TO THE LOWER 48 STATES. Buyers from Alaska, Guam, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands are not part of the free shipping. If I have not opened the calculator for your country please contact me for shipping charges. I DO NOT ship liquids, sharp items, or items over 3 lbs. 14 oz. out of the country.
Once the item is taken to the post office it is out of my hands on how it is handled. I package all items very carefully and make sure there is enough packaging material to assure safe delivery, but lately there are horror stories on what the packages look like once they arrive to their location. This is why I suggest in most cases to insure your items.
If an item is received damaged, and it is insured (again I stress insuring breakable & collectible items) please notify me immediately to get the paperwork necessary to process your claim at the post office. It is up to you to take the paperwork, damaged item and packaging to the PO for your insurance refund once you receive the insurance slip from me. I am sorry, but if there are any damages insurance only pays for the cost of what you paid for the product, SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS ARE NOT REFUNDABLE.
NOTICE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
All items must be paid through PayPal. I ship First Class International (under 4 pounds) Priority International (over 4 pounds). First Class International does not provide insurance or online proof of delivery as required for PayPalâs Buyer/Seller protection. It is at your risk if you choose this choice of shipping. Priority International you can choose to insure your items.
I WILL NOT alter the value on Customs Forms as the package can no longer be insured for the full purchase price also; it is ILLEGAL â NO EXCEPTIONS! Packages sent overseas are sometimes delayed because of Customs and may take longer to arrive than specified by USPS. Any Customs/Duty Fees are the responsibility of the buyer. We should never be rated on how long the post office takes to get your package to you.
A modest handling fee of $3.00 - $5.00 (exceptions may occur, example: If a lot of extra packaging is needed due to the long shipping process) will be charged to help defray the cost of shipping supplies for your well secured package.
NOTE IF you as a buyer, will email me to ship First Class International (only on items under 4 lbs or less and under $20) and do not care that the item will not be insured or tracked I will ship it First Class International, BUT You must understand this is at your risk if the item is lost or broken. This is completely your choice -- the risk is all yours. An email is required prior to purchasing.
