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 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 , but 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. THERE WILL BE A MINIMUM CHARGE OF $10.00 SHIPPING FOR ANY LOT SHIPPED IN A PRIORITY MAIL BOX.
<p>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 handling and packaging fee.
