I ship USPS Priority Mail unless First Class Mail is less expensive and still within 1-2 days of delivery time for Priority Mail. Heavier items will go parcel post. Shipping prices include delivery confirmation. I re-use boxes when I can, so don't be surprised if your package arrives in an Amazon box. I do ship internationally to selected countries. I am not responsible for customs fees. International shipments typically go first class mail to control the cost. Please contact me for the cost of an item you may be interested in. I package the item and go to the post office to get an accurate price quote. I am on the east coast, and base all shipping fees on the west coast. If you would like a more accurate quote of the shipping fees, please contact me with your zip code and the item you are interested in and I will calculate more accurate postage for the item. Items returned because of failure to pick up your local post office will be refunded minus the cost of shipping. I do accept returns and will refund the purchase price, minus shipping fees, after receiving the item back in its original condition.
