Hello, Shipping is extra but, I would be happy to help you with arranging it. See description.

 

I specify 'local pick up' in the item description because generally Ebay  

shipping prices don't reflect what actual shipping costs are. I try to use the

least expensive and safest method possible so my clients don't pay any

more than necessary. I send fragile and/or heavy items by UPS, and all

items sent by UPS are packed by UPS. I send smaller items by

the Postal Service, and I pack these myself. I ship furniture by professional

van delivery services from here in CT west to Texas and south to the Gulf

coast. For deliveries further west, you may contact USHIP or Plycon

Transportation Group.

All all items will need to be paid for first, shipping costs (if needed)

will be paid separately. Ebay does not allow me to add shipping to the

purchase price with a local pick only listing.
