After a busy year, I'm making most items to order (which means I usually make the tiebacks after they are purchased). The handling time in each listing will be an indication of the time it takes me to make the tiebacks. The current handling time is five business days, but if sales are slow I may get them shipped sooner. (:
U.S. SHIPPING:
I keep shipping to a minimum and offer USPS First Class Package as the best value for price & speed. For multiple orders, I often use Priority Mail. I use the Paypal USPS integrated shipping system whenever possible, so you will be provided with a delivery confirmation number by email. I do combine shipping and already have discounts set up through Ebay, but may be able to reduce shipping costs even more if you'd like to request a total after purchasing multiple items but before paying for them. Once shipped, almost all of my shipments within the U.S. arrive in two to three mailing days.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
I always combine shipping for multiple orders and already have discounts set up through Ebay. I will always refund any significant overpayment of postage costs. I most commonly use USPS First Class International for shipping outside of the US. First Class International may take a longer time to arrive than other services, but it's much more affordable than Priority International (which usually runs $25 or more for a few ounces). Delivery time for international packages is usually 5 to 15 business days. Customs, bad weather, or national holidays can sometimes slow down a package with the occasional shipment taking around 30 days to arrive. This only happens to about 5% of my international shipments. (:
As
of January 27th, 2013, USPS has raised prices for First Class
International, in some cases almost doubling the amount they used to
charge. On a positive note, they
are starting to include tracking and delivery confirmation as part of
the First Class service. Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom receive package tracking and delivery confirmation.
International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. 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 or buying.
