At the request of the buyer, we hold items that are won at different auctions for up to ten days, in order to combine their packing into one carton and lower the shipping cost to the basic charge of $5.95. This basic shipping charge includes insurance for $50.00. We advise buyers to buy additional insurance for combined shipping. When combined shipping is involved, we charge $1.00 per additional item to cover handling and packing. Large and highly fragile items shipped full insurance.
