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 adjust 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 hi 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 and other important programs.

WE DO CHRG S/H/I, (AND STILL LOSE $): AS OF THIS DAY THANK GOD AND OUR GREAT PACKERS WE STILL MAINTAIN A 0 DAMAGE HISTORY W/ ALL SHIPPERS, AND WE DO NOT WANT TO (AND DO NOT THINK YOU WOULD WANT US TO EITHER) COMPROMISE OUR "FRAGILE VINTAGE GLASS" PACKAGING STANDARDS SO WE FALL INTO THE "VERY REASONABLE/(REALLY MEANING VERY CHEAP)" "5 STAR RATING" CATEGORY!!
