SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping is not free, even if your listing shows "free shipping." Shipping is expensive and USPS increases Shipping Rates every year in January. In 2019 First Class shipping rates increased an average of 12% and also went from a flat rate per ounce to zone-based pricing. This meant a significant increase in shipping costs for me from Florida. I do the best I can to keep costs down but please remember when leaving feedback that I do not set the rates and I do not add handling charges.
SHIPPING YOUR PURCHASE: Upon receiving payment I ship via USPS First Class or Priority Mail on the same or next business day. When I print the shipping label, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information as well as a personal email from me advising of the ship/mail date; if you do not receive a personal email from me, this means that your spam blocker rejected or returned it.
COMBINED SHIPPING: I always look for the least expensive shipping option and I am happy to discount shipping for multiple purchases paid via a single invoice. If you would like combined shipping, please add the items you want to your shopping cart and when your order is complete just Request total from seller (upper right corner of the shopping cart) so that I can send you a combined invoice for all of your purchases. As soon as you pay for an item(s), I purchase a shipping label based on the weight of that package and I am not able to add additional items.
CALCULATED SHIPPING: Unless I can use a Flat Rate envelope, I typically have eBay calculate shipping costs for weightier packages because shipping costs can vary by $10 or more depending on distance. I hope that you will remember when you leave feedback that what you pay is the actual rate posted by USPS; I do not add any additional fees.
