By default we ship USPS.  We also use UPS for larger or heavier shipments.

Shipping/Handling/Insurance charges are calculated by ebay based on weight and distance tables provided by USPS or UPS, not by Whistle Stop Trains. 

Placing all of your items into your shopping cart will allow us to combine shipping upon checkout, when possible.

Items purchased individually or on multiple carts cannot be adjusted for shipping.

If you do not like our shipping charges, please feel free to purchase from another seller.  It is disingenuous to agree to the shipping charges at the time of purchase then email complaining that shipping charges were higher than you “thought” they should be.  Again we remind you that we cannot control what ebay /USPS/UPS charges to ship to you.  Sorry no international sales.
