SHIPPING: DOMESTIC SHIPPING: You will pay exact shipping costs calculated by the USPS or Fed Ex. I will not charge a handling fee (for the majority of my items) in order to jack up shipping costs though. I'm not out to make huge profits with dishonest practices. Within the shipping tab, you have the choice in with service you would like to have your item shipped. The majority of the time you'll see 2 services offered by the USPS and 1 service offered by FED EX. If you require something special, please write to me in advance so I can be sure I can fulfill your request. On occasion I will offer free S/H depending on the items being sold. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: International shipping costs have increased from the USPS. I have no control over this issue. What I can control is the fact that I will take great care in preparing your package for over-seas travel and I will not charge you a handling fee. I'm not out to make a profit by raising the cost of shipping to my International buyers.
I offer 3 different shipping options to my international buyers. Please read my descriptions of each service very carefully below and please note that once I mail off your package, you will be sent a confirmation (tracking) number. If any problems arise with the delivery, I will help in assisting to find a solution but will not be accountable for lost/stolen items. Country Custom fees and taxes are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Please be aware of your country's postal policies before purchasing any of my items. All International Buyers should notify me previous to buying any item. Some countries have many restrictions and I may not be able to ship to your country. This is a must. I should be notified in advance so I can check with the USPS to see if it's possible to ship accordingly. My rules for international shipping are simple. You have the choice of having it shipped a few different ways which are described in full within the next paragraph. I would hardily suggest having your package sent USPS Priority Mail International which can be costly but is very safe. This service is very reliable and much faster than my other option (First Class Mail International). The second option for international buyers is First Class Mail International. It is obviously cheaper than Priority Mail International for many reasons. You can explore these reasons on their web site. The main negative with this service is the fact that the USPS doesn't closely document tracking records which makes it very difficult to find answers when shipping issues arise. This service is not as reliable and sometimes can take a very long time to get to its destination. In all honesty, you are taking a gamble with this service. This service seems to be a great alternative for some countries (Canada is a great example) but if you are from a more exotic country, I would suggest spending the additional money on Priority Mail International. To protect myself (the seller), I will buy a Certificate of Mailing if you want it shipped this way. This is my proof that I did indeed mail your package through the USPS. This will protect me as a seller and adhere to E-bay policy of keeping clean shipping records. The 3rd option for international buyers is a new service being offered directly by eBay. It's called eBay International Shipping. There are plenty of articles within their website explaining more about this newer shipping service. I have used this service a few times already with no issues at all. It seems very reliable and looks to be getting great reviews from buyers who have used it. TERMS OF SALE:
