PLEASE NOTE: I only ship one (1) day a week, so please, if you pay on a Wednesday (example day), and I just went to the post that week, and I don't go till the following Thursday (another example day), this means your item will not be shipped for eight (8) days. It is miles to the post, and I have regular work, for this I am sorry. If you pay for Priority, this is just the "form" of shipping, not that I jump up and ship it that day. Thank you for understanding. We charge for Priority shipping in the US, all others please inquire.

New Note on Shipping

It seems eBay is taking a percentage of all shipping I charge you, and then PayPal takes their percentage. Having said this, I have found I am losing between $0.50 cents to $1.50 on every package I send out. This is wrong of them, but it means I have to add a "handling charge" to all packages I mail out. Please complain to eBay for all us small sellers. This is not right, but I can't afford to lose $15.00 to $25.00 average a week. There will be a $1 (US) and $2 (Foreign) handling charge to all packages.

Note on International Shipping

I cannot put proof of delivery on packages out of the United States. If you want to have the package tracked, add $30.00 to shipping, or you accept (by bidding) that the US Customs label is acceptable as proof of delivery. If not, I am sorry, I cannot be responsible for lost or delayed packages. I can only prove I mailed it. Sometimes your country's Customs takes a long time to clear. We do use eBay Global Shipping when available.
