Payments Domestic & International Orders: All payments are accepted in US dollars. International orders must pay with acceptable credit card or Paypal, payments must be for the exact purchase amount. Payments presented outside of the approved methods cannot be accepted unless prior arrangements have been made.
Misrepresentation of location at time of order: Orders placed with the shipping location misrepresented for the purpose of obtaining reduced shipping fees or to circumvent sales tax will be canceled and subject to a cancellation fee. Example of misrepresentation is selection of domestic shipping but request the order to be shipped to an international address or use another domestic location but request shipment to a location where sales tax is applicable.

Orders normally ship within 3 - 4 business days after full payment is received, "made to order" items will ship upon completion, this information is normally noted in the listing. *Please keep in mind ceramic items are breakable and must be double boxed, shipping amounts include a nominal fee to cover the cost of shipping supplies.

INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING to Other Countries: I will be more than happy to ship internationally, however due to the difference in shipping costs to various countries it is impossible for me to calculate each one.

All shipping quotes for international is based on USPS Global Priority Mail Register Mail, insurance plus a nominal fee to cover the cost of shipping supplies.
