We COMBINE shipping! If you have purchased multiple items, please request the total so that your shipping will be combined. We always try to have the shipping costs be the "actual" cost to ship. If you overpay for shipping, we will refund the balance. PayPal is preferred for payment. We no longer can take personal checks or money orders as payment due to Ebay's new rules. Sorry! Shipment takes place as soon as payment is recieved. Some of our items are dropshipped direct from our Vendors. International shipping depends on the item. Items we have in stock can be shipped internationally, also a few of our Vendor's will ship internationally. If you see an item that does not show international shipping, please email me.
