Shipping charges seem high because eBay and Paypal now charge sellers a portion of the money collected specifically from the shipping. Therefore we have to offset this with handling to avoid loosing money. Please take the total cost of ownership into consideration when placing a bid.
Please use the calculator below the auction price for a shipping quote. Most items are shipped within 48 hours of receiving payment (excluding Saturday/Sunday). Some items may take up to 3 (three) days to properly package and ship. If you are sensitive to shipping time, please inquire about expected shipping delays prior to bidding. Insurance up to $100 is included with the shipping price quoted. For items that sell for more than $100, a small charge (about $1 per additonal $100) will be added to the invoice. All items have a small handling fee to cover our materials. Every auction has this handling fee, even if won by the same bidder. Unless you specifically request otherwise: Domestic items shipped with UPS will be left without signature if the value is below $100. For items valued over $100 or if the address appears to be an apartment, signatures are required for delivery.
International buyers, please be aware that you may incur a brokerage and/or customs fee upon delivery. We do not misrepresent the purchase price of items on packing slips. Winning bidder is responsible for actual shipping charges. There is a minum handling fee of $6 for non-US shipments. We will ONLY ship items overseas that can be sent Priority Mail, as parcel post does not offer proof of delivery. To determine approximate cost and view weight and size restrictions for your country, please follow this link: http://ircalc.usps.gov/ . If the calculator does not give you a quote, the item is probably too big to ship.
Combined shipping is done at the sellers discretion. Similar items won that can be safely packaged in the same box will reduce the total estimated cost by about 40% per item or will add $3-5 for each additional item within weight and size classes.
