via Parcel Post which has been changed to Priority Mail International.

| Method
of Shipping: |
The
majority of your prints will be mailed flat, secured between several layers
of stiff cardboard. Some of the largest prints (over 14 inches, or 36 cm)
may be mailed in a 3- or 4-inch (7,5 or 10 cm) diameter tube to save you
the postage, as the overall weight of a package with the protective
cardboards is much higher. Only the prints that can be easily rolled will
be mailed in a tube. Some prints are printed on paper that would be damaged
if rolled into a tube and they will be mailed flat.
Domestic buyers: Please note
that any package weighing 13 ozs. or more must be mailed via Priority Mail.
A large print mailed in a tube weighs less than 13 ozs. A large
print mailed flat with the protective cardboards weighs more than
13 ozs. You can use THIS LINK to calculate the approximate Priority Mail postage (replace "to
ZIP code" with your ZIP code) for a large print mailed flat. |
| Multiple
purchases: |
We automatically
combine multiple print purchases into one package. You do not need to email
us a request for combined mailing. eBay's automatic checkout often includes
separate postage for each print and you may end up paying much higher postage
than is due. If this happens, need not worry about this, as the extra postage
you may have paid will be always and promptly refunded. |
| Proof
of mailing: |
Domestic buyers:
Unless you request otherwise, all packages will be mailed without a proof
of mailing, signature confirmation etc. If requested, such services cost
extra.
International buyers: Packages
mailed internationally via 1st Class Mail International can be sent via
Registered Mail (requiring a signature) for additional $11,50 to
assure the delivery. This is the most secure method of mailing. A registered
package is automatically insured up to $45 or the declared value, whichever
is lower. If you want to insure your package to its full value, it has
to be mailed via Priority Mail International. Unless
you request otherwise, all packages will be mailed without insurance, proof
of mailing, signature confirmation, Internet tracking etc. |
| Internet
tracking: |
Domestic buyers:
Any Internet tracking services cost extra. If you are interested in such
a service please email us. Unless you request otherwise, all packages will
be mailed without a possibility of Internet tracking.
International buyers: Any
Internet tracking services cost extra. If you are interested in such a
service please email us. Internet tracking is automatically included for
registered packages and for packages mailed via Priority Mail International.
Unless you request otherwise, all packages will be mailed without a possibility
of Internet tracking. |
