Combined shipping available at a reduced price when possible, but wait until you receive our invoice. If the item(s) you wish combined close in several days, do not pay the invoice as we must ship within 24 hours of payment.

Regarding shipping charges. The Post Office continues to help itself to semi-annual raises and the cost of Medial Mail is up 35% over the past several years. Then eBay takes 13% of the amount of postage charged as part of their fee grab. However, now and as before, this our postage charge is made up front and should be considered a part of your total cost for an item. It is not something that is tacked on by surprise. Thus if you wish to spend $35.00 on a item, and shipping is $9.75, your maximum bid is around $25.00.
