I ship daily and will ship items within one business day of purchase.  Most items are shipped by FedEx Home Delivery, Priority Mail or Parcel Select.  I offer several different choices for shipping each item. The shipping cost is determined by weight and package size and is the actual shipping charge.  I do not charge for handling or packing materials.  Under the shipping tab there will be at least two choices for shipping.  If you are in the eastern US, Priority mail will probably be least expensive.  If you are west of the Mississippi FedEx Home delivery will be least expensive.  The shipping cost shown on the listing may or may not be the least expensive option so before you bid make sure to check out all the shipping options and pricing.  Please ask if you have questions about shipping.  I pack my items very well because I do not like to see beautiful antiques broken!  This might add a little more weight to the package (and therefore be slightly more expensive) but anyone who loves antiques hates to see pieces needlessly broken!

I am generally happy to combine shipping on items but because of the weight of the pieces it is often risky to try to combine items.  The size of the boxes also increases and can exponentially affect the shipping price so that it is actually less expensive to ship items individually.  If you have questions about whether I can combine shipping or if it would save you money to combine shipping, please ask!  

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

 I ship to International addresses on request.  I ship Priority Mail International or First Class International Mail, if available.  First Class International mail carries some amount of risk to the buyer.  There is no tracking or insurance available for First Class International shipping and I will not assume responsibility or share responsibility for missing or damaged shipments that are sent First Class International.  Priority Mail International shipments will have a tracking number and are insured automatically to a US Postal Service limit.

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.  It is illegal to falsify customs declarations with a low price or mark an item as a "gift" in order to avoid customs fees.   I will not do it.

REFUNDS

Excellent customer service is my goal.  There are very rare occasions that I make a mistake in the listing or shipping of an item. Refunds will be given on items not as described or defective.    If you are not sure about something, please ask before you purchase! 

FEEDBACK

I provide all my customers with positive feedback and I appreciate those who leave me positive feedback as well!  If there is a problem or you have a question about your purchase, please contact me first so that I may have the opportunity to resolve the concern.  Remember that feedback is to rate me as a seller.  PLEASE leave feedback about how I am doing as an eBay seller!
