I ship using the U. S. Postal Service. I pack properly using bubble wrap and foam peanuts. I feel communication and honest feedback are an important part of the ebay process and hope you will take the time to leave feedback when your purchase arrives.  This way you are letting others know about your shopping experience with me and will let me know your package has arrived safely.  If there is a problem when your item arrives please don't hesitate to bring it to my attention so I can take care of it quickly.   If you feel the shipping charge is excessive, this purchase is not for you.  I do not inflate shipping charges.  You pay what the eBay's shipping calculator decides according to your zip code.  All items ship the next business day Monday thru Friday.  I do not charge a handling or a packing fee unless special requests are made in the packing or shipping.  I will only entertain offers on listings that include a "Make An Offer" tab.  Thank you.
