International S&H Policy...
  1. Upon purchasing, international winners should contact us for an invoice which includes S&H to their location.
  2. Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. Please check with your country’s customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.  Note:  We will not falsify customs declarations or mark an item as "gift" in order to avoid customs fees.
  3. If insurance is desired, be in touch for a quote.  All insured orders are subject to customs, duties, & taxes for the amount insured and are subject to item 2 above.
  4. Large and/or brittle issues must be shipped flat and are required to be shipped by Priority Mail International (PMI), often at a weight of 3 pounds or more - quite expensive.  Please contact us for a pre-purchase/pre-bidding S&H quote if you are concerned about the potential S&H cost.
  5. International purchasers are encouraged to take advantage of our combined shipping policy to lower the cost per item S&H.
