I will combine the cost of shipping for all the items you win during a 2 week period that are paid for in a single transaction. Please note. If items are paid for separately, they will be shipped separately due to eBay tracking reasons. Also, I ship items within 24 hours from the time of payment. Therefore, do not pay for any items until you are done bidding so I can ship everything in one package. Please take your time and don't pay for up to 2 weeks.
