Items ship when payment is confirmed. Multiple items may be combined for shipping. Shipping costs are dependent upon the items ordered as specified on the item page under shipping and payment instructions. Priority Mail is used due to its security, careful handling and timely delivery. Each item is carefully packaged in sturdy packaging with appropriate containers and packing materials (bubble wrap, "peanuts", etc.) to minimize movement and impact during transport. Combined shipping is available and will be automatically applied when multiple items are purchased. The buyer must notify the seller if shopping is not completed via email.
