United States Postal History Cover, First Flight MIAMI TO MERIDA, MEXICO.   F.A.M. Route 5.   Postmarked December 4, 1931 at Miami, Florida with a slogan cancel Air Mail Saves Time and shows a bi-plane in the cancel.   The postage stamp is the 5c Winged Globe issue, Scott #C12.   In addition to the cachet at the left side there is also a cachet / rubber stamp for Merida.  Postmarks at Merida, Mexico on the back side as well as some initials within a circle.   The cover came to me with three small newspaper clippings dated Nov. 3, 20 & 21 regarding flights of Charles Lindbergh.   These may not be related to the cover, but since they came with it, I am including them.  An interesting group for the specialist collector.   The cover is fine / very fine condition, minor wrinkles / creases.  The clippings are gine condition, either cut or rough cut out of a newspaper.


SHIPPING $1.25 by First Class Mail to addresses in the United States.  IF POSTAL TRACKING IS WANTED, let me know and $5.00 additional will be added to your invoice to cover my additional cost for packaging and the postal tracking fee via USPS Ground Advantage.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING  is done through the ebay Global Shipping Program only.  No other international shipping options are available.  Ebay charges an additional fee to the buyer for this service.  Ebay Global Shipping Program does not combine shipping for multiple items.  I do NOT ship direct outside the United States, but use this ebay service for foreign shipments.  Import duties, taxes, tariffs,  and other charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.  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 / buying.

REDUCED SHIPPING in the United States for multiple ebay lots shipped together.  Cost will vary depending on the number of items, size, weight and total value.  Please request an invoice with combined shipping BEFORE PAYMENT and I will be happy to reduce your shipping accordingly.

SHIPPING SCHEDULE.   Payments made by 9 a.m. Eastern Time Zone Monday thru Friday the ebay lot is mailed the same day.  Payments after 9 a.m. Friday or on Saturday or Sunday the ebay  lot is mailed on Monday.  I mark all ebay lots as shipped once I package the item even if it goes out later per this shipping schedule.

BIDDING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS / MULTIPLE DAYS - let me know and I will hold those items up to 7 days.  Otherwise payment is expected within 3 days or less.  I send updated invoices at the end of each days auctions.  Once payment is made those items being held will be shipped together.  Please wait to pay until you have received a final invoice for all items purchased to receive a reduced shipping fee.

SALES TAX - Ebay collects sales tax for those specific states that require such.  Where appropriate ebay will add the sales tax to the purchase price based on the delivery address of the buyer.  Ebay calculates, collects and remits the sales tax directly to each state as required.
