My items come from a smoke free house and I try to ship things out the following day. I try to get items delivered before the delivery date. If you look around I have LOW SHIPPING.  I am not one to believe in the high shipping.  If you buy more than one item I always try to work with customers on the shipping. If you have any questions about my item before or after purchasing, feel free to write me and I will try to get back to you the same day. A part of my profits goes to help two different charities; Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and to a local hospital giving out stuffed animals and coloring books. Thanks and good luck
