I do combine shipping on multiple purchases and it almost always saves you money on the shipping charges. Please remember to request an invoice when you are done shopping so that I may send you a combined discount shipping rate...When a buyer purchases items from my store it will be at their discretion to whether or not insure the package...My shipping charges are very reasonable and the quality is superb! I encourage people to read my feedback and I look forward to working with you! Regards, trims-n-treasures
