This has been in storage for several years and does have a warp that will need to be worked out. The bottom base has been glued on. I think this is part of what is causing the warping. It will need some repair in this area.
We pass along our seller shipping discounts to and do not charge a handling fee so you are charged only actual shipping. We offer two shipping services for each listing. Often, you only see the first one selected and depending on where you live, it may not be the cheapest one. Please look at costs for both of them (I hear this can sometimes be hard to find). If shipping seems high, you can email us with your zip code and we can verify shipping costs.
