Winning bidder pays .50 for first class mail shipping. I ship exclusively by U.S. mail. Postage outside of U.S. is extra. Multiple items can usually be shipped together to reduce postage costs.
INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE:  Unfortunately international rates have skyrocketed with the last few rounds of post office rate increases. This is beyond my control.  I welcome international bids and will happily ship anywhere in the world, but international bidders need to be aware of the following conditions and limitations: Normally I ship via regular uninsured first class mail because it is the least expensive and often the only realistic method of international shipment for less expensive items. Although my track record with international shipments is excellent, I CANNOT GUARANTEE THE RELIABILITY OF THE WORLD'S POSTAL SERVICES, AND WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOST OR DELAYED UNINSURED INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, BY BIDDING IN MY AUCTIONS OR PURCHASING SET SALE ITEMS FROM ME, YOU AGREE TO ASSUME THE RISK OF LOSS OR DELAY OF UNINSURED SHIPMENTS. Depending on the item and the international destination, I may be able to ship by a more secure method, in some cases including insurance, but this usually is very expensive, and may not be practical for many lower value items. Furthermore, under postal limitations, postal insurance is unavailable for shipments to some countries and for some methods of shipment in all cases. YOUR BID CONSTITUTES ACCEPTANCE OF THESE CONDITIONS. Please contact me if you have questions about available shipping options for an item. Thanks, and I hope that this will not discourage you from bidding as I greatly value my international customers and have an excellent track record with international shipments.
