USA Shipping I ship almost all my items within the U.S. by Priority Mail. Really light weight items will be shipped by First Class Mail to save you money on shipping costs. If you need something super fast I can ship by Express Mail, but it does cost more. If you think you may need shipped by Express Mail it is very important that you contact BEFORE purchasing with your zip code so I can give you a shipping quote and shipping time. Sometimes Express Mail does not arrive the next day based on your location. Plus there may be circumstances where I can't not mail something out right away. Again please contact me BEFORE purchasing if you are interested in having your item shipped by Express Mail. International Shipping I ship by First Class International Mail with insurance (required and already included in the shipping price). If you would rather Priority International Mail instead (it does cost more) just let me know and I give you instructions on how to pay the extra shipping cost. All purchases totaling $250 or more will be shipped by Express International Mail. Also please note that your country may charge an import tax, duty fee, VAT (Value Added Tax), or customs possessing fee. If you are charged a fee upon receipt of your package this due to your countries laws. This is NOT an additional fee I am charging. Each country has different rules regarding these fees. If you need more info regarding import taxes and fees its best to contact your local postal office or refer to their website for more info. Handling Time I do my very best to ship items within 24 to 48 hours from the time of payment. Sometimes however if perhaps I am out of town or have a "life" situation come up it may take me longer to ship. I will send you a message though to let you know when your item has shipped. Please keep in mind too that I have no control over the mail. Sometimes due to weather or holidays the mail may take longer to arrive than normal. Also if you are an international buyer sometimes packages can take a while to go through customs.
