The shipping is based upon the actual weight and size of the package delivered to your destination. There is no packing fee. The box, packing material, tape and label I supply for free. I ship within 3 to 5 days after receiving payment. I try very hard to describe the item, take a lot of pictures for you and ship as fast as I possibly can. Please consider the possibility of delays from USPS or UPS in their delivery times. The shipping method you choose may also determine how fast you will receive the item.
