PACKING & SHIPPING:
We will ship this via FedEx. Check our eBay feedbacks, you will see that we know how to pack and ship this safely to your door. We do our own packing and, so it is done right, using fresh, new materials, not stuff we picked out of a local dumpster.
Shipping boxes are heavy-duty, double-walled, and we utilize extra internal protection. Only the best, safest packing materials are utilized. Also, shipping costs went up lot recently - so we can't compete with Amazon Prime's free shipping, but neither can they offer you such a fine antique or pack it the way we do.
