Domestic and International delivery charges are fixed and stated on each auction page.  Most items will arrive within 7-10 days of receipt of your payment. Nearly all of our packages are shipped via UPS Ground, USPS Priority Mail, and USPS First Class. Shipments to Connecticut require applicable sales tax.

You may shop our eBay auctions, eBay store buy it now, yahoo auctions, or on our official website and your order will be automatically combined with reduced S&H. Here is how the discount is applied. You pay 100% of the stated fixed shipping rate on the heaviest item and 50% of the stated fixed shipping rate for each additional item. Some items are too large to be combined and need to be shipped separately. No combined shipping discount is available for some large items such as magic sky misting fountain, case of watches, case of lighters, case of hair clippers, etc.

Insurance is always required and is based on your total.**
