Item Description (This is other-worldly wordy & detailed, but full of very useful info!)

Up for sale is a top-of-the-line, absolutely gorgeous, fully loaded, brand new condition Dell Inspiron 17-7773 Power-User/Professional/Multimedia 2-in-1 convertible laptop/super-tablet. This system is unquestionably one of the very highest performance 17" convertibles you will find currently for sale on eBay (and quite probably anywhere else!), and absolutely zero compromises were made with it - just about every conceivable hardware and software/OS upgrade has been included with this superb laptop! So, unlike most laptops offered for sale on eBay, this is not some off-the-shelf, stripped-down, "vanilla" configuration that would require an immediate additional investment in time and money to meet your performance and utility expectations - it is exceptionally well configured out-of-the-box, easily ranking among the very finest 17"-class convertible laptops ever built, and designed to satisfy absolutely all of your computing needs now and for many years to come without requiring any hardware or software/OS upgrades whatsoever!

For those already familiar with Dell's ground-breaking, class-defining, uber-popular 7778 and 7779 2-in-1 convertible notebook/super-tablet systems, the 7773 is the ultimate successor model of those two earlier designs - essentially identical to them in aesthetics and chassis design/appearance, but with massively upgraded 4-core/8-thread processor (up to double the performance vs the earlier models' 2-core/4-thread processors), discrete nVidia MX150 GPU/graphics accelerator (vs the earlier models' 940MX GPUs), NVMe SSD controller (up to six times the performance vs the earlier models' SATA-only SSD controller), and 2400MHz dual-channel RAM support (vs the earlier models' 2133MHz RAM). These advances all combine to deliver a fantastic performance boost compared to the two earlier systems! Straight from Dell, a basic, no-frills, entry level-equipped, Inspiron 7773 (Core i5 CPU, only UHD graphics and no nVidia discrete graphics, 8GB single-channel RAM, standard spinning 1TB HDD, no M.2 SSD, no Ethernet, slow prior-generation WiFi, no external DVD, feeble 45W AC adapter, etc.) would have set you back well over nine hundred dollars before taxes and shipping. But with the absolutely phenomenal hardware and OS upgrades included in this package, the total retail cost would have more than doubled that to exceed two thousand dollars (and over twenty-five hundred when Microsoft Office 2021 Professional Plus and the other apps suites are also added!). With its ultra-high-end component selection built atop a powerful Quad-core & Hyper-threaded "Kaby Lake R" CPU/motherboard foundation, this phenomenal 2-in-1 convertible notebook/super-tablet is without question among the most capable 17"-class systems available anywhere at this modest price, and absolutely flogs all of those meek little 'netbooks', Chromebooks, and other cost-optimized (read: compromised) systems out there. In fact, once POST (Power-On Self Test) completes, this extremely well-balanced system will typically boot to the Windows logon screen in around 10-12 seconds (and only 3-4 seconds with Fast Boot and the hiber file enabled), and launch large, complex apps in only a second or two! So, for anyone needing an ultra-high-performance, go-anywhere, multimedia professional-grade notebook that's also certified as a fully capable desktop replacement (especially when used with your external high-res monitor and perhaps a Dell D3000/D3100/D6000/WD15/WD19 or similar 3rd-party USB 3.0/3.1 or USB-C docking station), then look no further - this Dell is without question one of the very best available at this price point. That is especially the case if you're in need of a home learning or remote working solution - you'd be hard pressed to find a more suitable laptop than this Dell for those tasks, both in terms of hardware specs and Windows OS, apps, and tools setup! Plus, as an added bonus, this Dell's innovative 360-degree "Flip-and-Fold" design allows it to excel in other popular usage modes: As a laptop (obviously!) and as a touchscreen tablet (but with far more power and capability than single-use units) of course, but also as a tent (great for multi-viewer presentations), and as a stand (optimal for presentations and video entertainment).

Things you can do with your Inspiron 17-7773 laptop: Given its massively upgraded, top-shelf hardware specs, this Inspiron 17-7773 easily handles essentially anything one might buy a high-end laptop for today, but for far less money! Bottom line: if you're looking for a brand new condition,  aesthetically stunning, fully configured, rock-solid, extremely well-constructed notebook with the hardware capability to easily handle all of your computing needs for everything from running mission critical business productivity applications and data analysis tools, running complex synthesis and simulation packages, doing innovative graphics design, and even enjoying some slightly older gaming titles, down to the simpler everyday tasks like remote working and distance learning, web surfing, emailing and instant messaging, video conferencing, listening to your favorite music through the outstanding stereo speakers, streaming your favorite movies and videos, watching DVDs, and storing stacks of photos, video, and music, then this amazing Dell system will deliver. It was built with only the highest quality parts and materials, has been upgraded with the latest, top-shelf components, and has been set up from scratch with a fresh, new Windows 11 Professional Edition 64-bit OS installation (the latest "October 2023 Update Edition" Version 23H2, the most recent version available, updated, activated, and perpetually licensed via transferable, just-purchased genuine Microsoft Windows 11 retail license) and an Office 2021 Professional Plus Edition installation (also the most recent version available - updated, activated, and perpetually licensed via transferable, just-purchased genuine Microsoft Office 2021 retail license), fully customized with a wonderful, intuitive, personalized Start Menu, and ready to go right out of the box. It would make an excellent do-anything laptop for high-school/college/graduate-school students or business/professional users, and it's also perfect for work-at-home types who could use it as an ideal desktop replacement with its vibrant, easy-to-read, Full-HD In-Plane Switching (IPS) LED-backlit LCD display, ultra-high-resolution 4K external monitor support, and myriad connectivity options. It's far more ruggedly built than most other new laptops available today, and it's priced at a very substantial discount to its original retail value (and easily worth every penny!). And again, this laptop honestly looks absolutely stunning and is shockingly powerful - basically a "maximum envy" system which will hugely impress your co-workers, fellow students, neighbors, your kids, your parents, your spouse, your pets, or anyone/anything else that appreciates the very latest and greatest in information technology wrapped in the most aesthetically beautiful package available!

Windows 11 Professional: This laptop was built with Windows 11 Professional Edition 64-bit, so there's no antique, unsupported Windows 7, or silly, woefully begat, impossible-to-use Windows 8 here; Windows 11 (with it's 'Start' Menu FINALLY improved and upgraded with Windows 10-style Hierarchical Program Groups as of the current 23H2 Release) is Microsoft's very latest business and consumer operating system, and is preferred by millions of users for all of it's new features and enhancements (I still do miss the Windows 10 Live Tiles and resizable Start Menu icons though - hopefully those are also coming soon!). For Windows 11 23H2,  Microsoft has added their fantastic new "Copilot in Windows" centralized AI assistance feature, more Start Menu improvements (especially Hover Preview), Taskbar/System Tray/Notifications enhancements (in particular, vastly improved audio controls), modernized File Explorer with native support for nearly every current archive file format, improved Windows Share features, the new Windows Backup and Restore app, new Emojis, and huge enhancements to Windows Spotlight, Narrator, Voice Access, Account Security, and Graphics Management. All in all, an amazing collection of brand new and enhanced existing features to provide the best possible Windows experience for both new and current users!

Cost Savings/Price Reduction Options for this Inspiron 17-7773 system: The hardware configuration for this laptop was optimized in terms of the amount of RAM, SSD and HDD capacity, inclusion of an external DVD drive, inclusion of a Gigabit Ethernet adapter, inclusion of discrete graphics accelerator card, higher-end AX WiFi-6 wireless module, higher-end AC adapter, etc., in order to provide the very best out-of-box experience and longest period before any later upgrades might be necessary. However, if some of these hardware specs are beyond your needs and you would like to reprice the laptop with those specs reduced, then just contact me via eBay messaging and I can give you a quote with your preferred hardware configuration.

NOTE: Any bright areas on the laptop in the included photos (esp the ones on the palmrest and keyboard areas) are strictly from my hyper-active camera flash and lack of any actual photography skills! The laptop itself is has no blemishes, wear, or imperfections of any sort whatsoever!

So literally, all you will need to do is push the power button, configure your email account, and perhaps set your own personalized user password to start using your laptop the moment it arrives! The laptop comes with a personalized primary user account and as many additional accounts as you desire pre-installed and custom configured as you like, including a very wide selection of fantastic background images and desktop themes provided by Microsoft specifically for Windows 11 systems. And just in case you ever need to reinstall the original "day one" setup, you'll be provided - on the secondary hard disk drive - a full snapshot of your system, which will contain an exact backup image of your laptop once it's been set up specifically for you after your purchase. Not even the big-box manufacturers do that!

Manufacturer/Model	Dell Inspiron 17-7773 (7000-Series) A PRIMER ABOUT DELL'S 7000-/5000-/3000-SERIES INSPIRON LINEUP: At the top of the Inspiron tree is the enthusiast-targeted 7000-series, followed closely by the high-end/upper-mainstream 5000-series, followed a bit farther back by the more volume-oriented/lower-mainstream 3000-series. To optimize cost-vs-aesthetics, Dell typically utilizes a substantial percentage of metal in a 7000-series external chassis, a bit less metal and more high-end composites in a 5000-series external chassis, and somewhat more affordable, standard composites and plastics in a 3000-series external chassis. To manage cost-vs-performance, Dell generally selects a basket of higher-end internal components (Core i7 CPUs, 3D-optimized discrete GPUs with dedicated graphics memory, larger & faster RAM, larger & faster NVMe primary SSDs, huge SATA secondary/backup HDDs, higher-quality LCDs - often with touchscreen interfaces, backlit keyboards, etc.) for the 7000- and 5000-series laptops versus somewhat lower-spec, less pricey internal components for the 3000-series laptops (where achieving the lowest possible cost is a paramount goal).
Processor and Chipset	Intel Core i7 8550U 1.80GHz Quad-Core/Octal-Thread 8th Generation CPU with 4.00GHz Turbo Frequency, 8MB L2 SmartCache, 4GT/s OPI Bus Speed, 34.1GB/s Memory Bandwidth, Intel Optane Memory Support, Intel SpeedShift Technology, Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, Intel Hyper-Threading Technology, Intel Virtualization Technology, Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables, Intel 64, Intel SSE4.1/4.2/AVX2 Instruction Set Extensions, Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology, Thermal Monitoring Technologies, Intel Flex Memory Access, Intel ID Protection Technology, Intel Smart Response Technology, Intel My WiFi Technology, Intel AES New Instructions, Secure Key, Intel Software Guard Extensions, Intel Trusted Execution Technology, Execute Disable Bit, OS Guard, PCI Express Revision 3.0 Support, and More! Intel System Chipset w/64-bit Data Bus Width and 36-bit Address Bus Width. [8.9 Windows 11 Experience Index Subscore] NOTE: The outstanding 8.9 score achieved by this high-end Quad Core CPU is among the best currently available for any laptop, and even challenges many mid-to-high-end desktop PCs in terms of overall horsepower for handling large, power-hungry apps and tackling multiple apps concurrently!

Solid State Drive & Hard Disk Drive	New 2TB/2000GB Western Digital Black-Series SN770 (WDS200T3X0E) PCIe Gen4x4 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive SSD, with up to 5150MB/5.15GB per Second Max Read Performance (Perfect Health Indicator Status!). Mint Condition 2TB/2000GB Seagate Technologies ST2000LM007 SATA-3 Hard Disk Drive HDD (Perfect Health Indicator Status!). [9.2 Windows 11 Experience Index Subscore] NOTE: The insanely high 9.2 score achieved by this ultra-fast PCIe Gen3x4 NVMe M.2 SSD completely obliterates the typical 5.8-6.0 scores achieved by traditional SATA Hard Disk Drives/HDDs, and even demolishes the very respectable 7.8-8.0 scores typically achieved by SATA Solid State Drives/SSDs, resulting in an astonishing (and very noticeable) overall performance increase!!
Display	17.3" Full HD In-Plane Switching/IPS UltraSharp/TrueLife WLED 1920x1080 Pixel Resolution Capacitive Touchscreen LCD with 10 Touch Points (Capable of Viewing ALL High-Definition/HD Content and Supports the Full Range of Touch Gestures!). NOTE: In-Plane Switching/IPS LED-backlit LCD screens provide FAR richer color reproduction (fuller RGB color gamut), vastly superior dynamic contrast ratios, and much wider, more accurate viewing angles than traditional TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) LCD displays! You will easily notice the difference!
Video Graphics	Primary: nVidia GeForce MX150 High-Definition Graphics with 2GB Dedicated GDDR5 Video Memory, 18GB Total Video Memory, and Optimus Technology (Intelligently optimizes laptop for highest graphics performance when needed, and extends battery life to use Intel HD Graphics when highest graphics performance not needed). 384 CUDA Cores, 1468MHz GPU Clock, 6.01Gbps Memory Data Rate, and 48.06GB/s Memory Bandwidth.

Item Condition

Functionally, this Dell Inspiron 17-7773 is in flawless condition. Cosmetically, even though it is not being delivered to you directly from the factory, it is indistinguishable from factory new, and is almost certainly the finest such unit currently available on eBay or anywhere else. Some details...

Overall, the chassis/case is in brand new condition - literally what a typical system would look like right after unpacking it for the first time! In detail: the LCD's top/back cover is in brand new condition, with no scratches/scuffs/dings/dents/cracks/etc. - 10 out of 10. The LCD's front Touch Digitizer Gorilla Glass bezel/frame is flawless, with zero imperfections of any sort - 10 out of 10. The chassis base/bottom is in brand new condition, with absolutely zero imperfections - it rates a 10 out of 10. The keyboard is flawless, with zero indications of any use whatsoever (not even from the almost week I spent installing Windows 11 and all of the apps!) - 10 out of 10. The palmrest assembly is in brand new condition - 10 out of 10. The touchpad/mouse pad is in brand new condition - 10 out of 10. The LCD is bright and clear and in absolutely perfect, brand new condition; there are no dead or stuck pixels, or scratches or scuffs or lines or burn marks or faded backlighting or discoloration or any other possible imperfection - overall an amazing display and rates a 10 out of 10. The genuine Dell 4-cell 56WHr "Smart" Li-Ion primary battery is brand new and retains all 100% of its date-of-manufacture capacity (55,997 mWh out of 55,997 mWh!) for hours and hours of uninterrupted on-the-go computing! The genuine Dell LA90PM130 90-Watt high-capacity AC adapter is in brand new condition. The cooling fan and heat sink assembly are clean and perfect - completely free of the dingy muck buildup you find on used laptops (which can easily lead to overheating!). The primary Solid State Drive is brand new, and the secondary Hard Disk Drive is in mint condition, with both receiving the highest possible "Health Status" scores as determined by the industry standard CrystalDiskInfo tool (both also thoroughly verified using Dell's built-in Diagnostics suite, as well various trusted third-party benchmarking applications). The optical drive is brand new (only used to install some of the applications via the included DVDs), with all supported media types fully tested and certified. The Gigabit USB Type-C Ethernet LAN adapter is brand new (only used to install Windows and any of the apps not installed via the optical drive). And the integrated Intel AX200 Wireless-AX/WiFi-6 plus Bluetooth 5.1 card works superbly, with plenty of speed (up to 2400Mbits/s) and range to satisfy anyone! All internal components (motherboard, CPU, memory cards, etc.) have been fully tested, and the entire laptop has been checked out thoroughly using a battery of highly regarded diagnostics and stress-testing suites. This is truly a phenomenal laptop, and you are extremely unlikely to find another one with its superb combination of ultra-high-end hardware specs, outstanding, custom-tailored Windows and apps setup, and essentially new overall condition at anything close to this very attractive price - it is quite unique indeed!

Unit History: This Dell Inspiron 17-7773 is listed as an "Open Box" unit, and aside from the six or seven days I spent upgrading its hardware and then setting it up with Windows 11 Pro, Office 2021 Pro, and the entire best-in-class custom apps suite, it has never been used (it was a spare company system). Our business typically has up to a dozen or so 7773s (and the prior 7778s and 7779s) in our stable that we use to run standard office productivity tools (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint typically, plus a few Adobe creativity apps), some engineering tools (mostly MatLab and several chip design, synthesis, and simulation packages), as well as doing some Zoom/Skype video conferencing. This particular unit was simply another one of our "extras" that never left our IT storage locker. Company-wide, all of our Inspiron systems are now being reassigned or decommissioned due to an across-the-board upgrade cycle to mostly very pricey Dell Precision models, making available for sale this essentially new Inspiron 7773 system with its fresh-from-scratch operating system and apps installation, plus its performance-oriented component upgrades (most importantly, the i7 Quad-core/Octal-thread CPU, the nVidia GeForce MX150 GPU, the huge, lightning-fast NVMe primary Solid State Drive, the even more massive secondary Hard Disk Drive, the much larger RAM/main memory, the external optical drive, the Gigabit Ethernet LAN adapter, the ultra-fast AX WiFi-6 module, and the much higher capacity AC adapter). In sum, this superbly upgraded Inspiron 17-7773 is configured vastly better than when we originally purchased it (along with several identical systems), yet it is priced at a fraction of its retail value!

Upgrade Options

The hardware included with this Inspiron 17-7773 laptop is what I would consider optimal from a cost-performance perspective (I spent nearly 10 years at Intel architecting and designing microprocessors and entire computing platforms, so I have a better understanding of performance tradeoffs than the average eBay vendor!). I have not over-spec'ed it to make it appear to be something that it's not. It has more than enough compute and graphics horsepower, however, to comfortably run any of your older video games at up to "medium-ish" settings, any of your productivity and creativity apps, any of your entertainment apps (especially streaming players and various multimedia apps), and a variety of other apps you might choose to install after your purchase - so it is fully capable of handling nearly any task you might throw at it! For potential buyers who'd prefer to max out certain specs on this already superbly equipped laptop, I'd be happy to provide any available upgrades to the winning buyer. Prices for items like a Dell WD15 Docking Station (see below for specs), larger NVMe primary Solid State Drives (up to 4TB), larger secondary SATA Solid State Drives (up to 4TB), Bluetooth keyboards and mice, spare AC adapters, etc., fluctuate depending on market conditions; however, if you're interested, just send me an email and I can check on current prices for you.

Making a Best Offer

While I generally don't provide automatic "Best Offer" capability in my laptop listings because of the flood of low-ball offers that normally leads to, I will try to respond if you email with an offer and will at least consider it. As policy, I try to price all of my new, open box, or refurbished-to-near-new condition laptops at approximately what the primary components are worth on eBay (motherboard, CPU, LCD, memory, SSD and/or HDD, optical drive, AC adapter, battery, chassis, etc.). Depending on current market conditions, I generally add a bit on top of that (typically around $75) to cover the 12+ hours of labor on average that goes into each laptop to get it configured like you see in the listing: time that's spent on the hardware and firmware upgrades, the Windows, device drivers, and applications installations and updates, and the exceptional, super-intuitive, uber-organized Start Menu configuration. Paying myself roughly $6 per hour for that expert labor does not to me seem excessive! However, I do understand everyone has an affordability limit - especially these days! - so if the upfront price is out of your range, you are welcome to contact me and I can try to work with you to get the laptop down to a price you can afford by trading off certain specs against price/performance and optimize both with your specific needs in mind.

Shipping and Insurance Info

DOMESTIC U.S. SHIPMENTS:

Insurance to cover the replacement cost of an item lost or damaged during transit is not an optional, separately billable line item during checkout. Therefore, all items of sufficient value automatically carry full insurance coverage for US destinations. This coverage is provided via USPS/FedEx/UPS or ShipCover/other third-party, and is already built into the shipping quote - there is no separate fee charged.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS:

• First Class International is notoriously slow for certain countries, sometimes taking as long as 8 to 10 weeks for final delivery of your package. Please keep that in mind if you select First Class International for shipment of your item.

• For higher-value items (especially those shipped to countries with spotty international package delivery reputations), you may select to have the "Registered Mail" option added to your shipment if you have  chosen First Class International Mail delivery. Registered Mail provides full insurance coverage for an item - even for First Class International Mail - but adds approximately $12.00 - $13.00 to the cost of standard postage. Please also keep in mind that USPS Registered Mail requires special handling and tracking by the postal and customs services of both the US and your own country, so delivery often takes a few extra days compared to non-registered mail. If you are interested in the Registered Mail option, please send a note along with your payment and you will be issued a separate PayPal invoice to cover the cost of this service.

• For higher-value items, you also have the option of selecting Priority Mail International delivery. Priority Mail International provides full tracking and delivery confirmation information when the non-Flat Rate Box option is selected (Flat Rate Boxes are generally as poor with regard to tracking and delivery confirmation as First Class International). Priority Mail International provides full insurance coverage, so is recommended if you are at all concerned about loss or theft of your item by your country's customs and/or postal services while they are handling your package.

• International shipping charges do not include any taxes, duties, VAT, or customs surcharges that may be collected upon delivery. If you have any questions about this, PLEASE contact your local postal and/or customs authorities before purchasing to learn what additional fees may be charged.

ALL SHIPMENTS:

• Shipping services are generally provided by the US Postal Service for domestic US and most international addresses. In some cases (typically heavy items shipped to US addresses), FedEx or UPS service may be provided. If your location is not listed automatically with an exact shipping price, or you would like to inquire about additional shipping options, please contact me via eBay messaging and I will provide a custom shipping quote for you. Don't forget to mention the exact item and delivery location you are inquiring about!

• Your package will be shipped within 1 business day of receiving a cleared payment. Depending on time of day that a payment is received/cleared, your package may ship the same day. If there is any shipping delay in order to fully process a payment (see 'Payment Details' below for more information), you will be contacted via email and informed of the expected delay.

• All domestic and international shipments include a delivery confirmation number, tracking number, registered mail number, and/or customs number, depending on the method of shipment selected and shipping vendor (please see important limitation above regarding tracking and delivery confirmation for First Class International packages). These numbers can be used to obtain shipping status via their respective online sites (www.usps.com, www.ups.com, or www.fedex.com). Generally, these shipping numbers are provided automatically for all domestic and international shipments. If they are not provided automatically, I will send an email to your registered eBay email address with the appropriate information. Please keep in mind that for First Class International and Priority Mail International Flat Rate delivery methods, the tracking updates essentially stop once the USPS has processed your package and it has left the United States.

• I'm very happy to combine shipping on multiple items purchased from me and shipped together in a single box, saving you money and me supplies and time! Please contact me for an exact quote (and don't forget to specify which items you want combined into a single shipment, your ZIP Code or Postal Code, and type of service desired - overnight, ground, priority, etc.).

• Local pickup is fine, and incurs absolutely no shipping or handling charges.

Payment Details

• PayPal is fine, and funding via your credit card, bank account, PayPal balance, etc. are all OK -- I don't discriminate against any PayPal funding options! Using PayPal is fast, easy, and will ensure speediest delivery. For international shipments, this is the only available payment method!

• If using PayPal, I will generally only ship to confirmed PayPal addresses, although exceptions may be made for those with excellent eBay feedback on a case-by-case basis.

• Credit cards or debit cards processed through eBay's payment system are also fine and have the same advantages and benefits as PayPal payments.

• Cash is OK, but ONLY if you're doing a local pick up. I'm sure you know better than to send cash in the mail!

• If you wish to use any form of payment other than PayPal, please contact me first to check if it is a suitable method, and is allowed by eBay's payment policies. When using a non-PayPal method, there may be a shipment delay to allow time for your payment to be processed (typically several business days). Exceptions are made on a case-by-case basis and only for eBay members with exceptionally positive feedback history.

Transaction Feedback

• I typically leave feedback for buyers shortly after payment has been made. If I'm particularly busy - I have a fairly taxing 'day job' designing CPUs and custom data/image processing chips for a very high-end, next-generation medical diagnostic imaging system - that feedback may be delayed a day or two. Please rest assured, though, that I will not forget to leave it!

• I ask that once you have received your package and have thoroughly checked out your item, that you reciprocate and leave appropriate feedback for me. If you have any questions or concerns about your item, shipping, payment, or any other issue related to your purchase, please don't hesitate to email me. I will reply promptly - usually within an hour or two unless it's the wee hours of the morning and I'm asleep!

• eBay bases their fees on a member's detailed feedback ratings for communications, whether the item was as described, shipping costs, and shipping time. Although they profess that scores of 4 or better are acceptable, in practice, any score less than 5 results in significantly higher 'Final Value' fees (up to 20% higher), which in turn leads to higher prices for buyers. So, if there's anything at all about your transaction that you feel does not merit a score of '5', please let me know right away what I could have done better to earn that score.

• Shipping Time: please keep in mind that I have absolutely zero control over how long the US Post Office or other contracted carriers take to actually deliver a package to you once they have it in their possession. All I can promise is that all items are shipped either the same day as payment is received or at worst, the very next business day. Parcel Post, in particular, can take a week or longer to cover the distance between California and the East Coast, so if that poses a problem for you, you may want to opt for one of the expedited shipping options! For international buyers, please be aware that shipping time is impacted greatly by how quickly the customs agents of your country process your package. If they are particularly busy (for example, during the winter holiday season), the added delay can be quite substantial! For whichever shipping option you choose, keep in mind that the 'Shipping Time' score is meant to reflect how quickly a seller posts an item after it has been paid for - not how long the carrier takes to actually deliver the package using the buyer's chosen delivery method!!!

• Shipping Cost: Many of my listings feature free domestic First Class or Parcel Post shipping. For the rest, First Class and Parcel Post shipping, or upgrades to Priority and Express shipping, are typically provided at a slight discount to published USPS rates plus transit insurance and packaging materials cost. For international customers, shipping costs are calculated using the lowest published USPS rates for the available shipping options, plus transit insurance, packaging materials cost, and a very small amount (one US dollar or less) to cover the overhead of filling out various US customs forms.

Thanks for viewing my listing!
