INSURANCE IS INCLUDED. THE SHIPPING CARRIER SHOWN DURING PAYMENT IS SOMEWHAT OF A "PLACEHOLDER" - WE WILL USUALLY SELECT THE ONE THAT CAN PROVIDE THE QUICKEST DELIVERY BASED ON LOCATION. YOU MUST EMAIL BEFORE BIDDING FOR RATES INTERNATIONALLY, AND TO ALASKA AND HAWAII. As with everything these days, costs continue to rise, and shipping companies have raised their rates fairly frequently in the last couple of years. In addition, the cost to ship large items is based upon a "dimensional weight" which is calculated using both the size of the item, as well as the weight, so the shipping cost is much higher for bigger things - ALSO PLEASE NOTE THAT EBAY CHARGES SELLERS A FEE OF 12.55%, NOT ONLY ON THE FINAL VALUE OF THE AUCTION, BUT ALSO ON THE SHIPPING COST. WE ONLY COVER THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SHIPPING (INCLUDING INSURANCE) AND DO NOT PASS ALONG ANY OF THE OTHER FEES.
WE DO HAVE SUPER FAST SHIPPING - CHECK OUR FEEDBACK. WE almost always ship either the same day, or the next day after payment is received by making special trips to the post office
