Notes about Shipping

Media Mail is a cheap, viable option for shipping. However, because it is cheap, it is slower than other choices. Based on customer response and tracking, it seems as if destinations along the east coast take between 3-7 days. Destinations on the west coast take approximately 10-14 days. Hawaii and Alaska take a minimum of one month. You can estimate the delivery time based on how far you are from NYC. Remember, there are no guarantees on delivery time. If you need something in a timely manner, please use Priority.

Signature Tracking

Purchases over $150 are usually sent with Signature Tracking. This means someone will have to sign for the package upon receipt. I do this to try to avoid package theft; however, I recognize it can be inconvenient for people who are not at home. Please consider providing a work address, if appropriate. Or, if you know delivery will be secure--like a mail locker--you can tell me not to use Signature Tracking. Please note: eBay mandates that orders of $750 or more must have Signature Tracking.

Problems

If there are any problems with your order, please contact me. I try to work things out with all of my customers to make sure everyone is as happy as possible with their purchase and experience.
