INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

• We only accept PayPal (in US dollars) from customers with verified accounts and confirmed shipping addresses. In some cases, we can also accept bank / wire transfers.
• We use USPS Priority Mail & USPS International Express for most international shipments. 
• Shipping rates may vary from estimates shown on our eBay listings. There is usually a $5 charge for handling & packaging on International shipments.
• We make every effort to consolidate the number of boxes used when you purchase multiple items to reduce the cost of shipping. Please note that such "combined shipping" is done at our discretion with regard to the safety of the items you order. If we feel that combining certain items in one package may cause damage during shipment, we will notify you and items can be shipped separately at the appropriate cost.
• Many governments around the world levy some combination of excise tax, value-added tax (VAT), import duties, and other fees on products sent from the United States. We are not responsible for paying these fees. We do encourage you to check with local regulations prior to purchasing so you know what responsibilities you have to your government (if any).
• Most USPS Priority Mail shipments, regardless of the final destination, arrive within 1-3 weeks of shipment & USPS International Express may drive within 5-6 business days. However, in some cases, your order may get help up in Customs for an extended periods of time for any reason. We are not responsible for any delays caused by Customs processing in your country.
• In the event that a package is damaged on arrival or lost, it is the buyer's responsibility to open an investigation with the shipping courier (e.g., USPS, UPS), typically within 2 days of receiving a damaged item, or realizing an item has been lost. Make sure you have the box the item was shipped in and many high quality pictures to back up your claim. These investigations can take several weeks to conclude. We are not able to offer any replacements or refunds until the investigation has been completed.
