WE WILL DEFINITELY GIVE YOU A COMBINED SHIPMENT DISCOUNT, IF YOU PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE ITEM FROM US WITHIN 7 DAYS. ~~~ We try our hardest to keep the SHIPPING/HANDLING charges to a minimum! No one likes to pay for exorbidant charges. Insurance is usually Optional and always highly recommended. On some items we do require it and it will be stated as such in the item descripton. (I am only responsible for proof of shipping if package is lost or damaged.) ~~~ OUTSIDE THE USA: PLEASE USE THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR to get your personalized quote AND PAYMENT IS ALWAYS BY PAYPAL IN US FUNDS ONLY !! ~~~ Within the U.S. I accept PAYPAL, United States Postal Money Order or Pre-Printed Personal Check (personal check will require a full 10 days to clear prior to shipping). ~~~
