Combining Multiple Orders

• We process orders quickly: depending on when your order is received, it will either ship same business day or next business day. Once we've begun pulling and packing your order, we cannot modify the order to add more items to it. However, if we receive a new order from you and your first order hasn't been pulled yet, we will automatically combine your orders into a single shipment and refund you the extra shipping charge imposed during the eBay checkout process. There's no need to request combined shipping or a modified invoice, it will happen automatically.
• If you want to be sure your items ship together for a single shipping charge, we recommend that you submit a single order for everything you want to buy, rather than ordering them separately.

Ordering more than 40 items

Ebay limits the number of items you can purchase in a single checkout to 40 items. We have no control over that limit. If you want to order more than 40 items, then place an order for the first 40 items and then go through checkout again for the remaining items you want to order. If you place your second order immediately after the first, we will automatically combine your orders into a single shipment and refund you the extra shipping that the eBay checkout system charged you.
