0Payment must be received within three business days of placing your order. If you decide you don’t want to pay me, the transaction will be cancelled and the items will be put up for sale again. I will have to report you to the big guys. I ship using the United States Parcel Service. able mabel has no control over the United States Parcel Service, therefore I can’t control their treatment of my precious goods. Although I appreciate USPS, I will not take responsibility for packages that arrive at your doorstep late, packages that vanish into thin air or packages that are mistreated in any way, shape or form. That said, I highly recommend insurance for your shipment. The rates for items shipped to US destinations are: $0 - $49 $1.75 $50 - $99 $2.15 $100 - $199 $2.65 $200 - $299 $4.75 If you are interested in purchasing insurance, please let me know prior to payment and I will send you an updated invoice. Once your package has been shipped, you will receive a telegraph or something similar confirming the shipment via the Etsy conversation system. If I overcharge your shipping costs, I will refund you the differnce. Returns and exchanges are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Please convo for details.
