Shipping is free to any addresses to anywhere in the world. I do not however insure any stamps sent. If you want more safety in items sent to you, you should pay the fee for Registered mailing. Registered mail is $14 to United States addresses and $15 international. Please realize that registered mail to a foreign addresses does not carry insurance. I suggest that any order sent to Mexico be sent registered when the value exceeds $50. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOTS BEING SENT TO MEXICO UNLESS THEY ARE SENT REGISTERED.
Some of my markings you may not be familiar with:
MOG = Mint original gum. This is what I may call anything from one that has a good amount of gum to one that is even lightly hinged.
MNG = Mint NO Gum, in other words, one that has been soaked of gum or never had gum when issued.
MH = Mint Hinged, a category that covers anything from one that has been easily visible hinging marks to one that still has a hinge attached.
MLH = Mint Light Hinge, a stamp that has very little of the original hinge mark showing. This can be one that obviously has been hinged, but is in no way a hinge noticeable.
MNH = Mint Never Hinged, is a stamp that has no disturbance of the gum, from hinge or otherwise.

t-(numbers 1-10) = one of the ten relief types found on 1868 issues. t-with number = 'type - number' on any items that needs separation of types including the Eagle Issue periods.
