Will ship USPS Ground Advantage with tracking number.


If you request it, I will combine multiple purchases into a single shipment to reduce your shipping charges. If you are interested in multiple listings, please let me know and hold your payments until you are done shopping. Then, when you are finished, let me know and I will send you an invoice for the total, with shipping reduced to my cost of packaging (typically between 22 and 50 cents), and the USPS postage charge, plus the 13.25% commission that eBay applies even to shipping charges. So please look at my other listings and buy a bunch of them to save yourself a ton of shipping cost!
