We usually ship within 3 days of payment. This server will be shipped using USPO Ground Advantage. The wife and I are comfortably retired and we're doing this to get rid of three generations of hoarding and its pizza and beer money for the grandkids in college. We believe it's dishonest to make money off shipping, you pay exactly what it takes to get your item(s) from our house to where ever you direct us to ship your item(s). We customarily overestimate shipping weight to assure shipping costs are covered. If there is a significant differential (more than $1) between the actual shipping cost and what you paid for shipping you will be reimbursed (our 100% guarantee). If its less than $1, thank you for the contribution to our eBay funded IRA (we're up to about $39). The Server will be carefully wrapped for safe delivery.
