Shipping policy
United States Postal Service (USPS):
We ship the majority of our items via USPS Priority Mail for items within the USA and protectorates. For International shipments we use Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail International and First-Class Mail International. We charge the prevailing rates for both shipping fees and insurance. We do add a small additional fee for handling & packaging. Using First-Class Mail International can save money but is slower and not tracked and is only available for packages up to 4 pounds. Please click on the link to learn more about each shipping method.
United Parcel Service (UPS):
We also use United Parcel Service or UPS, when needed and or are asked to. The choice is yours, however we recommend USPS since it is generally faster and less expensive. UPS shipping must be arranged after the sale, and shipping charges may need to be adjusted. If shipping charges are adjusted, an additional payment or credit will need to be made before shipping the item.
Fee and or Fixed Price Shipping:
Free and or fixed price shipping will be done through the shipping method of OUR choice, which may include USPS Priority, First Class, or UPS. Free and Fixed Price shipping applies ONLY to items specifically stated as being shipped for free or with a fixed price. Free and Fixed Price shipping fees may not cover insurance and or handling fees. Those charges may still apply. Free and Fixed Price shipping applies to shipment ONLY within the 48 contiguous states.
Shipping After Sale:
We do our very best to ship all items within 3 days of receipt of payment. Things happen, so this is not a hard and fast rule, but rather our policy. Something purchased on Friday may not be shipped until Monday. We do, however, try to meet the needs of our customers, so please let us know if your item is needed quickly and we will work with you to do whatever we can to expedite shipping, make that happen.
Unconfirmed PayPal Address:
Due to past problems, we reserve the right to ship to, or not ship to a PayPal unconfirmed address. There may be exceptions depending on the country that the item is to be shipped to, and the PayPal record of the purchaser. We also take into consideration the PayPal Verified or not status.
