Payment

USA Shipping

All shipping within the USA is done via USPS Priority Mail (uninsured) with delivery conformation. Insurance is extra and at buyers expense.

You may possibly speed up delivery using using ZIP+4 addressing. Lookup YOUR ZIP+4 zip code.

Prices do NOT include shipping or insurance. I do not believe in "padding" the sale with outrageous "handling" or "packaging" fees. I try and estimate the shipping charge as best I can using the USPS Domestic Rate Calculator. My zip code is 27519.

For my small kits I charge $4 total shipping and handling. This covers USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation. (I actuall lose money as it costs me more than $4). No additonal shipping charges for extra kits. $4 covers as many kits as you order. Insurance is extra.

For HS kits and multigame kits in the USA, I generally ship next business day once payment is received. In some cases I actually ship the same day! This is because I can ship small packages directly from my home without going to the post office.

If the package is larger than what can be mailed from my home, or insurance is reqiured, then shipping may be delayed a few days. Due to the long lines and out of the way location, I only make trips to the post office when necessary. This is generally once a week. So for larger items do not assume your item will ship immediately. Again, HS and multigame kits generally ship next day in the USA. Thank you for your patience.

International Shipping

International shipping is available for small kits on a invidual case by case basis only with the following restrictions. Shipping is via USPS Global Priority Mail. NO INSURANCE and NO TRACKING are available. Sorry. Buyer takes responsibility for any loss or damage.

Payment must be in USD. For international shipments I only accept payment with Paypal and only once you have confirmation (permission) from me.

I try and estimate the International shipping charges as best I can using the USPS International Rate Calculator.

For small kits expect the shipping cost to be in the range of $7 USD to $15 USD depending on your country and number of kits. Sometimes it is cheaper, sometimes it is more expensive. For 2 kits or less, the approximate weight is 1lb.

For single kits, the item is usually packaged in a bubble wrap envelope, then inserted into a thin Global Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope.

Due to the long lines and out of the way location, I only make trips to the post office Once a week. Typically Tuesday. So do not assume your item will ship immediately. Thank You for your patience.

Please email me BEFORE you send payment just to make sure I still have the item(s) and to obtain a shipping quote. Include your full mailing address and country. Thank You!
