Shipping/Handling
Please check the "Shipping and payments" tab to see the shipping options we are offering for this item, including pricing and estimated ETA.  Please notice that eBay's estimates are not entirely reliable. If you need a better estimate, please do not hesitate to contact us.
USA Shipping Options
USPS Priority Mail
Air service that provides 1 to 3 day delivery to US addresses.  It includes basic tracking information as well as Delivery Confirmation.  Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.
USPS Priority Mail Express
Premium air service that provides overnight delivery to most (but not all) US addresses.  Better tracking and faster delivery than Priority Mail.  Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.
USPS First Class Mail
Economy service for items weighing less than 13 ounces and valued at less than 0.  This service is typically a day slower than priority mail and since scanning is optional, the tracking is of limited value.
UPS Ground
Economical alternative to mail services, particularly for large/heavy items.  Being a ground service, it is not fast unless you happen to be close to our shipping location, but tracking is typically superior to mail services.
UPS 3 Day Select
Guaranteed delivery within 3 business days.  Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.
UPS 2nd Day Day Air
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the end of the second business day.  Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.
UPS Next Day Air Saver
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the end of the next business day.  Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.
UPS Next Day
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the morning of the next business day.  Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.
Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.
International Shipping Options
Priority Mail Express International (EMS)
Our preferred international shipping method for all international shipments because it offers the best tracking as well as the fastest and most dependable delivery.
Priority Mail International
Available for items under 0 in value.  Cost is somewhat lower, although delivery is typically slower and tracking is less reliable than PMEI.
First Class Mail International
Economy service for items weighing less than 4 pounds and valued at under 0.  This is the least expensive international shipping option, but the savings comes at the expense of tracking - scanning not mandatory, so this service does not provide reliable tracking information, and the post office will not trace delayed or lost packages.
Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.
Keep in mind that eBay's transit time estimates are from the US Postal Service.  The total transit time to your address can be affected by circumstances in your own country, such as delays at your local customs office, or cases where no one is available to receive the delivery.
International customers should be prepared to pay import taxes and/or duties at the time of delivery. In NAFTA member countries, customs duties should be discounted for products that are made in the USA, but taxes may still be collected.  Please be advised that we declare actual contents, value and country of origin for customs and insurance purposes.
No exceptions please.
