Machine cancel from Chapel Hill, N.C. used 1966 on UX49 postal card to Australia. To a hospital with a request for a copy of a medical article. High catalog for a modern postal card. Clean and fine. Item(s) will be mailed, when possible, in a #10 size envelope. eBay does not allow charges to be added for insurance coverage as a separate fee when Free Shipping is offered. eBay also holds sellers liable for items lost in the mail, a policy this seller strongl...y disagrees with. Recently it has been noted that even when "Do Not Bend" is marked on the envelope, the USPS will not guarantee that such items will not be sent through the sorting and cancelling machines. This is even if the Nonmachineable surcharge is paid. They recommend that such items be handed over the counter to the clerk. If there is a line, this behavior would be very time consuming for inexpensive items. Any philatelic firm typically does not offer protection from damage unless insurance is paid for by the buyer, or requires these fees to be paid as part of shipping charges. Items are sold as-is with all defects noted here. Thank you from Excelsior Postal History.
