Unless you specifically select otherwise, your order will be sent “plain white envelope.” All PWE shipments will use the eBay Standard Envelope (ESUS) service. This method has some very strict limitations and will often result in returned letters regardless of how well they comply. The total order can not be over $50, and any individual card can not be over $20. The letter can not weigh over 3 ounces, be over 1/4 inch thick, or be too rigid, although one toploader seems to do fine. Still, I strive to protect the cards as effectively as I can, however, please know this is a risky form of shipping. Cards will often take 2 or 3 weeks to arrive and there is a greater chance they may be lost or damaged, especially at higher quantities. These letters are tracked, albeit, very poorly, and sometimes arrive without ever being logged once. The good news is that eBay fully insures these shipments. If your cards arrive damaged or take longer than 30 days, just send me a detailed message through eBay (with pictures if damaged) and I will submit a very easy claim and issue the appropriate refund in usually less than 2 days. If you seek better card protection, I always offer USPS Ground Advantage for $4.99. When shipping as Ground Advantage, I always use a bubble mailer, Hobby Armor, and team bags as needed. If, for any reason, your order does not qualify for ESUS, I will upgrade the shipping at no extra charge. |
