Item(s) will be shipped immediately when payment has been received in full. We do have a 10 business day handling time in which item(s) almost always ship no more than 72 hours after a completed purchase. If you absolutely need to have items ASAP than contact our staff via eBay's message system and we will make necessary accommodations at that time, otherwise there is always the GET it Fast option already available on nearly all of our merchandise. We do combine shipping on multiple item purchases. Methos Collectibles and More handling fees are only US$5 per item and are already included in the shipping cost of each individual listing for your convenience (which is why our shipping costs appear high at first glance). Most sellers include handling fees in the purchase price, Methos Collectibles and More feel that you as a customer should know how your money is being spent and what for when it comes to the inherent costs of shipping. PACKING- All items are packaged in an industry standard shipping box that is large enough to house the item(s) and surround them in at least 2-4 inches of packing peanuts. Also included inside package is a printed invoice of your purchase(s) for your records. ALL box seams are taped over with 2 inch packing tape and a printed shipping label is adhered to the shipping box for clear and concise delivery. HANDLING FEES cover Delivery Conformation, the costs of packing materials, and all that is involved with the shipping process (shipping box, packing peanuts, tape, time to package item(s) professionally, shipping labels and customer invoices, and vehicle usage to transport item(s) to be delivered for shipment). When making multiple item purchases please contact our staff in advance so we can give you an accurate shipping estimate, as the eBay shipping calculator is all too often incorrect when computing multiple item purchases. We encourage you to send us a message if you have ANY questions what so ever for ANY reason as our staff is always ready to help in any way we can and are more than happy to hear from our customers! Most inquiries are responded to in less than 3 hours and most often times immediately upon reception. HAPPY BIDDING!!!!
