Our listings include a shipping calculator that can be used to determine exact rates to your location via USPS and UPS, unless a flat rate is shown. We insure all packages against loss or damage in transit and the rate quoted in the shipping calculator in the listing (unless flat rate is used) already includes the cost of insurance. We use top quality packaging materials when shipping to make sure each item is properly padded and arrives in excellent condition. Our shipping costs include a nominal amount to cover the cost of these materials and time.
