Shipping Details:
<p>Shipping. Shipment generally occurs within one week after payment has been received. Payment with a money order or bank draft expedites this process. We prefer to ship via UPS or Federal Express, and unless absolutely necessary, will not ship to a P.O. Box. For this reason, please provide a street address for our shipper. It will expedite your receipt of your purchase.
<p>Shipping Framed Items. We will happily ship any framed items with the glass intact, and smaller items present no problems. You should know, however, that packaging charges for large pieces shipped with the glass will be substantial. Consider letting us remove the item from its frame and shipping it with the frame less the glass. You’ll save money in the long run.
<p>By the same token, you will also save money if you don’t want the frame. Many times the frame is hardly worthy of the item, is damaged, or downright ugly. We’ll be happy to offer our opinions, we often remove items from frames for successful buyers!.
<p>Shipping Charges. Successful bidders are required to pay for all shipping, insurance and handling charges. Your purchases are valuable, sometimes irreplaceable, and important. We cannot, and will not skimp on making certain they reach you safely. You should be aware that for larger/and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial.
We will be happy to ship smaller items in a priority mail box. These packages work fine for small, flat items such as carte de visite and printed ephemera. We are reluctant, however to use them for larger dimensional items or for high value lots. In general, only lots valued under $500 will be shipped in this form of packaging.
<p>THERE WILL BE A MINIMUM SHIPPING AND HANDLING CHARGE OF $6.00 FOR ANY LOT SENT IN A PRIORITY MAIL BOX.
<p>USPS insurance is figured at $1.80 per $100 value, and, any package valued at more than $600 should be sent registered; this will add to your charges.
All lots not sent in a priority mail box are processed by our independent shipper. Brad works on a “per box” basis. Since UPS often raises a stink about damaged goods where used outer packing material is employed, all outer boxing is new. All lots are packaged with new interior bubble wrap, newsprint paper or cardboard sheeting. While Brad primarily uses new materials for inner packing, he sometimes recycles.
Beyond the cost of the packaging supplies, insurance and shipping charges are added, along with a handling fee. In order to give you some idea of the costs that WE incur when shipping your items, we have included the following table illustrating the actual UPS shipping charges for a five pound package, sent standard ground transportation from Cincinnati, Ohio to various destinations:
Chicago $5.86
<BR> New York $6.38
<BR> Miami $ 6.59
<BR>Los Angeles $7.66
<p>Remember, these are shipping charges only, and DO NOT reflect, insurance, packaging and handling! UPS charges insurance at a rate of .35 cents per $100 dollar value.
If you have a FED EX or similar overnight delivery account, we’ll be happy to ship via these services. Simply supply us with your account number, and we’ll expedite your shipping. Because we will still incur handling and packaging expenses for this service, however, you will still be charged a nominal fee.
