Insurance is optional but recommended since I am not responsible for items once they have been shipped especially with the increase in packages over the holiday seasons I can not stress the importance of adding insurance. Seller is not responsible for lost or damaged item(s) once I mail the item. USPS delivery receipt confirmation is my proof item was received at the address you provided. Make Sure your address is current with your Ebay account or email me before payment if a correction is needed. All shipping prices also include shipping supplies. Etc. If you are bidding on multiple items also contact me before bidding ends and I'll discount shipping on the extra items. All items are mailed out by the United States Postal Service - First Class Mail with delivery confirmation or Priority Mailing is available. Overnight Express mailing is available by request only. All items are shipped within 3 to 5 business days after payment clears, please note that if you pay by check on paypal it can take 3-10 days to clear. All combined orders are shipped Priority.
