It's those darn calculators/ or pre-disclosed shipping charges they are forcing us to use, we have to name one price for all and the calculators adjusts it, if we don't guess hi enough we often lose $ on just the actual shipping co cost, and even if we guess what we think is accurate it still goes way too high for some zips. WE CAN’T SEE WHAT IT QUOTES TO YOU!!!

We do not pre pack due to combined ship specials, last minute questions and pic requests.)

Regarding the DSR system (detailed seller ratings stars): you may consider a 4 star rating to be very good but anything less than 5 stars keeps us out of "best match", so our items going to auction do not get seen unless an experienced ebayer knows to clk the drop box and see "ending soonest" which shows them all items that are going to auction. We really do not want to compromise our packaging standards just to receive 5 stars as that just ends up hurting the shipping co’s in damage claims and up go their fees .

 We give 5 star service, quality, & packaging and ask that you please consider this when marking the stars during the feedback process. The DSR system is not very clear to some buyers at all!

WE DO CHRG S/H/I (SHIPPING/ HANDLING /INSURANCE), AND STILL LOSE $: AS OF THIS DAY. THANK GOD AND OUR GREAT PACKERS WE STILL MAINTAIN A 0 DAMAGE HISTORY W/ ALL SHIPPERS (so it really is in the packaging)!! NO "IT’S A MIRACLE IT MADE IT" CHANCES TAKEN HERE!!!

WE PAY FOR PROF PACKERS TO PACKAGE IN PROPER SIZE BOXES (with the proper clearance from the edges usually about 3") + BIG $$ FOR FOAM PEANUTS (DBLE MOST USE AS WE COMPRESS THEM), ALSO PAPER + BIG $$ FOR THIN & THK BUBBLE WRAP, INK, LABELS, REG & FRAGILE TAPE, STAPLES, GAS & TIME TO TAKE THEM TO THE SHIPPER AS NEEDED, OUR TIME, & WEAR & TEAR DEPRECIATION ON EQUIPMENT. EBAY AND THEN PAYPAL TAKES THEIR FEES AND % OF THE S/H/I MONEY ALSO. OVERSEAS IS EXTRA CAREFUL PACKAGING, EXTRA PAPERWORK AND FOOT WORK!!

WE WORK VERY HARD TO PROVIDE TOP END PRODUCTS AND SERVICE AND CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE $ ON THE ITEMS AND ALSO ON THE SHIPPING IN THESE HARD TIMES WITH ITEMS GOING SO CHEAP.

 PLEASE CHECK OUT YOUR S/H/I CHARGES THOROUGHLY!!
