Winning bidder should contact seller within 3 days of close of auction and pay within a week. Shipping cost includes insurance in the handling charges and is calculated for the U.S.P.S., but other options are available. Shipping via FedEx Ground or UPS requires a street address and telephone number. International shipping outside U.S.A. is more and varies with insurance costs included in the Handling fees. First Class Mail International with Shipsurance is the least expensive but packages have to be small and weigh less than 4 lbs; plus it can take 3-4 weeks for packages since this way to arrive and they will not be trackable. Some large Himstedt dolls are too large for U.S.P.S. shipping to some countries and must go by UPS or FedEx.
